Course overview

This is the most senior-level course EuroFinance offers and the final one in the International Corporate Treasury Management series (Operational, Advanced, and Strategic Treasury).

This strategic executive education course is designed for senior decision-makers to identify treasury best practices and how these apply to their organisations.

Over three days, through a mix of instructor-led workshops and peer groups, participants will determine the right treasury for their organisation, how to structure it and run it, using a unique framework that integrates strategy with advanced stakeholder, process and infrastructure management.

The course is conducted in a Chatham house rules environment* to ensure optimal learning.
