This final lesson synthesises the module’s themes, focusing on measuring treasury performance, the role of technology, and the strategic application of treasury management.

8.1 Monitoring Treasury Performance
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for treasury include cash flow ratios, liquidity ratios, and other metrics to track efficiency . Benchmarking performance against industry standards is a best practice .

8.2 Leveraging Treasury Technology
Treasury Management Systems (TMS) and ERP systems are critical for automating processes and making data-driven decisions . Modern systems provide real-time data, improve accuracy, and enhance control. Advanced Excel skills are essential for modelling, forecasting, and reporting .

8.3 Corporate Financial Planning and Capital Adequacy
The course explores the strategic role of treasury in corporate financial planning, including the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), Asset and Liability Management (ALM), and capital adequacy considerations .

8.4 Developing and Implementing Treasury Policies
Students learn to formulate sound treasury policies that establish internal controls, segregate duties, and ensure best practices . This is the foundation of a well-governed treasury function.
