Essentials of Treasury Management, 4th Edition Members: $148.00 Non-Members: $248.00 Format: Book + Add To Cart

The Essentials of Treasury Management, 4th edition, was developed based on the results of the 2012 AFP tri-annual Job Analysis Survey of 1,000+ treasury professionals about their functional responsibilities. Using those findings, a panel of subject matter expert volunteers guided the editors/authors in writing the text. It reflects the principals and practices used by corporate finance and treasury professionals to optimize cash resources, maintain liquidity, ensure access to short-term and long-term financing, judge capital investment decisions and control exposure to financial risk. Mastery of the functions, processes and best practices defined in this work ensures that professionals are prepared to meet the demands of corporate treasury job responsibilities. This is demonstrated through attainment of the Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) credential.
