§  To introduce students to practical issues of treasury management and subsequent demonstration of theory through discussion and case study of real-world anonymized cases.

§  In addition to the theoretical lecture, the course is focused on acquainting students with practical problems and their solutions, which they will standardly face in practice provided that they plan to focus on some aspects of treasury management.

§  The course is designed to lead students through real-world case studies to the application and integration of knowledge gained in other courses (especially, Corporate Finance, Banking, Financial Accounting, Financial Derivatives, Bank Asset and Liability Management, Company Law, Introduction to International Economic Law, Company Valuation etc.).

§  Each of the courses listed above is a suitable basis for completing this course.
