Who should attend?
The course will be useful for all those who want a deeper overview and those who attend operational and executive committees.
It's aimed at:
-  those who work in first line lending and savings functions;
-  executive and non-executive directors;
-  senior management;

It is expected that attendees will already have some treasury/risk knowledge and want to build on this to gain a deeper understanding of the balance sheet impacts of the risks.
