Why this course
Every month, Sheri wrestles with fragmented cash-position spreadsheets, manual reconciliations, and last-minute requests from the audit committee. The treasury team toggles between legacy banking portals and ad-hoc Excel files, creating version-control chaos and delaying the quarterly close. When the CFO cannot present a clean cash-flow story, the board questions the firm’s liquidity strategy and risks costly capital reallocations.
The current process forces Sheri to chase data owners, chase signatures, and rebuild the same treasury register for each reporting cycle. Missing or outdated entries trigger red flags, forcing the finance team into fire-drill mode during audit windows. The stakes are high: a mis-reported cash position can trigger covenant breaches, affect investment decisions, and erode stakeholder confidence.
What you walk away with
- A unified treasury evidence pack ready for board presentation.
- A live cash-flow dashboard that updates automatically each business day.
- A risk register that maps liquidity gaps to capital-allocation decisions.
- A standardized audit checklist that cuts evidence-gathering time by 70%.
- A governance RACI matrix that clarifies ownership for all treasury processes.
The 12 modules
Module 1. Mapping Treasury Data Sources
80% of finance teams lose time reconciling duplicated data feeds. In the weekly cash-forecast meeting, the CFO discovers three different balances for the same account. This module walks through identifying every treasury data source, documenting access points, and consolidating them into a single inventory. The deliverable is a mapped data source register.
Module 2. Designing the Cash-Flow Dashboard
During the mid-month board prep, the CFO asks, "Where is our free cash today?" A clear visual answer is missing. This session builds a dashboard layout that pulls real-time balances, forecasts, and variance triggers. Output: a live cash-flow dashboard ready for the next board deck.
Module 3. Building the Treasury Evidence Register
By module end a populated treasury evidence register sits in your drive, containing every reconciled balance sheet line, supporting documentation, and sign-off dates. The register aligns with audit requirements and eliminates ad-hoc file hunting.
Module 4. Automating Data Refreshes
The finance team is torn between manual imports and delayed reporting. This module shows how to script daily extracts from banking portals and feed them into the dashboard. What you ship from this module: an automated data refresh workflow.
Module 5. Risk Scoring for Liquidity Gaps
Stakeholder pressure from the board to see potential shortfalls competes with the need to maintain investment returns. This lesson creates a risk scoring matrix that flags any cash-flow variance beyond predefined thresholds. Output: a risk scorecard attached to the dashboard.
Module 6. Creating the Audit Checklist
A regulator recently highlighted missing liquidity evidence in a peer firm. This module translates audit expectations into a concise checklist that maps each dashboard element to required documentation. The deliverable is an audit checklist ready for the next audit cycle.
Module 7. Establishing Governance RACI
In the quarterly close, ownership disputes cause delays. This session defines a RACI matrix for treasury data collection, validation, and sign-off, clarifying who does what. What you ship from this module: a governance RACI table.
Module 8. Scenario Planning Templates
When the CFO runs a stress test on cash reserves, the team scrambles for comparable scenarios. This module provides ready-to-use scenario templates that plug into the dashboard for quick what-if analysis. Output: a set of scenario planning templates.
Module 9. Integrating Treasury with Investment Ops
The investment team asks for real-time cash availability before committing to new deals. This module aligns treasury data feeds with investment workflows, ensuring consistent visibility. The deliverable is an integration guide for treasury and investment operations.
Module 10. Preparing the Board Pack
During the upcoming board meeting, the CFO needs a concise narrative backed by hard data. This lesson assembles the dashboard, risk scorecard, and evidence register into a single board-ready pack. Output: a polished board presentation pack.
Module 11. Continuous Improvement Loop
After each close, the finance team reviews what worked and what didn’t. This module sets up a feedback loop that captures lessons learned and updates the treasury register automatically. What you ship from this module: a continuous improvement checklist.
Module 12. Finalizing the Treasury Evidence Pack
The auditor asks for a single source of truth during the next audit. By module end the complete treasury evidence pack sits in your drive, ready for any stakeholder request. The deliverable is a fully assembled evidence pack.

Before and after
Before
Sheri’s treasury team juggles three separate Excel files, manual bank extracts, and ad-hoc email threads, causing missed reconciliations and last-minute board requests. Evidence lives in inboxes, audit questions stall, and the quarterly close stretches into overtime.
After
After the course, a single treasury evidence pack lives in a shared drive, the cash-flow dashboard updates daily, and the audit checklist is always ready. Governance is clear, the board receives a concise pack each quarter, and the finance team reclaims weeks of effort.
What happens if you do not address this
If the treasury evidence pack remains unfinished, the next quarterly close will again be delayed, the audit committee will request a remediation plan, and the CFO’s credibility with the board will erode.
Who it is for
A CFO who spends the week balancing strategic planning with day-to-day treasury oversight, leading weekly finance reviews, and fielding board questions while coordinating across treasury, operations, and compliance teams. The role demands rapid synthesis of cash-flow data, risk metrics, and regulatory evidence without a single source of truth.
Who this is NOT for. This is not for someone who needs a basic introduction to finance fundamentals.
How it arrives
Within 24 hours of purchase your account in the learning environment is provisioned and the tailored implementation playbook is delivered alongside it. The playbook is hand-built around your specific situation, not LLM-generated boilerplate.
Time investment. 6 hours of focused work spread over a week, saving an estimated 40-60 hours of internal scaffolding work.
Why $199 is the right number
At $199 this course replaces a half-day consultant who would charge $2-5K for the same treasury evidence framework, a generic compliance certification that runs $800-2K, or the 60+ hours you’d spend building spreadsheets from scratch.
