What you walk out with
A scored, ranked picture of your own function, and a defensible answer to what to fix first.
1 You stop guessing where you stand.
You finish with a score, not an opinion: every part of your function rated red, amber or green, with the weakest ranked first. Evidence: a Quick Scan for the shape of it, then seven domain assessments of 30 scored questions each, 210 in all, rolled into one scorecard, plus a maturity radar and a current-versus-target gap analysis.
2 You can defend the decision.
You walk into the budget round with the gap named, the owner named and done defined, instead of a case built on instinct. Evidence: project charter, scope statement, RACI, requirements traceability and work breakdown structure, pre-filled in your domain's language.
3 The work actually moves.
The month after the decision is already built, so nothing stalls waiting for someone to design a form. Evidence: more than 60 project templates across all five PMBOK process groups, plus runbooks, SOPs, a KPI framework, audit checklists and a risk matrix. 55 to 65 files in total.
4 You use it the day it lands.
No blank templates to interpret. Every workbook opens with what it is, who uses it, when, how, a 1 to 5 scoring guide, what good looks like, and a worked example you delete and type over.
The Quick Scan is one sitting. You will know your weakest area before the day is out.
Nothing in it is generic project management: the build rejects any file that could belong to another course. Updated after you enrol, so it reflects where the work stands now. The 144-chapter course is included behind it, for the parts you want to go deeper on.
You own the balance sheet, but the rules for holding value are changing faster than your controls can adapt.

The situation this is built for

As new forms of liquid assets enter corporate holdings, the traditional boundaries of treasury are blurring. You are accountable for risk, compliance, valuation, and reporting — yet the systems and frameworks you rely on were built for fiat, not hybrid portfolios. Board expectations remain high, audit scrutiny is increasing, and operational complexity grows with every new holding classification. Without a rigorous internal assessment, even seasoned treasury teams face exposure in disclosure, hedging, and capital allocation decisions.

Who this is for

Group Treasurer overseeing global cash, liquidity, foreign exchange, debt facilities, and investment portfolios, responsible for financial risk management and board-level reporting.

Who this is not for

This is not for finance generalists, junior analysts, or those focused only on accounting treatment. It is not for vendors selling automation tools or platforms.

What you walk away with

  • Evaluate the resilience of current treasury controls against emerging asset types
  • Identify where existing policies create blind spots in valuation and custody
  • Align cash forecasting models with non-traditional liquidity sources
  • Strengthen reporting frameworks for board and audit committee review
  • Determine whether internal capabilities match evolving operational demands

How this maps to your situation

  • Diagnose current state weaknesses in treasury controls
  • Quantify exposure across evolving asset classifications
  • Reinforce governance and board-level accountability
  • Define clear next steps for capability upgrades

Before vs. after

Before
Uncertain whether current policies cover emerging assets, reactive reporting, fragmented controls, and rising board scrutiny.
After
Clear understanding of exposure points, documented governance upgrades, aligned team capabilities, and a prioritized action plan.

If nothing changes
Without deliberate assessment, treasury functions risk misstated reserves, undetected control failures, inadequate disclosures, and loss of board confidence during audits or market stress events.

How this compares to the alternatives

Unlike vendor-led assessments or generic training, this course provides an independent, comprehensive evaluation framework built specifically for Group Treasurers managing complex, hybrid portfolios without promoting any external solution.

Also included: the full course, for when you want the reasoning behind a finding (12 modules, 144 chapters)
