1.5 CPE This course covers key steps for the execution of a sound corporate cash investment strategy – a crucial part of your overall cash management process. The course is designed to help finance professionals who face the task of managing corporate cash investments, as well as corporate executives who oversee the process. Investment professionals who manage cash for their clients may also be interested in the curriculum.
The course reviews the purpose and goals of your investment policy. Learn how to design a policy that will protect you from unwise decisions, and allow you to generate an appropriate return from your assets. Glean insights into maturity and credit rating limits, which types of securities to allow and which ones to be careful about.
An essential part of the investment process is the external money managers you work with. We discuss how to decide how many to engage and how to select them. We also present suggestions on how to maximize the value of these relationships.
Further, we share recommendations on some of the steps you can take to monitor your portfolio and how to build important compliance controls – actions that ensure you get timely alerts in case adjustments to your strategy are needed. Regular reporting secures the confidence of your executive managers and auditors. Finally, we talk about reporting.

- Get recommendations on how to create compliance controls around the cash management process

This course is a helpful overview for those unfamiliar with investment policies and the use of custodians and investment managers. The course also serves those who are familiar, but need a refresher on what should be present in an excellent process or need ideas on how else to best utilize their investment managers.

Good course content and overview of corporate investment. Does seem to be more geared towards companies with large investment portfolios. Did not offer a lot of information around midsize companies and investment ideas, descriptions types etc.

I have worked in investment accounting before. It was nice to see how the investment policy works and how the investment managers are selected and performance is monitored from a treasury perspective.

Nice overview - it's mostly about practical policy and procedure, which is nice because most treasury courses focus on the actual work of investing (info you can find almost anywhere).

A bit more complicated than what I am used to, but in a good way. Describes how to set up an investment policy and the various roles of stakeholders and investment advisors.
