Edcomm Banker’s Academy Certifies 22 Bank Employees with Treasury Risk Training
New York, NY, February 15, 2011 -- Edcomm Banker’s Academy has recently certified 22 Treasury Department staff members from a California bank through its Treasury Risk training program. Upon competition of Focus on Treasury Risk, participants gained the knowledge, skills and certification needed to effectively manage treasury risk at their bank.
Minimizing treasury risk is one of the most important responsibilities of financial institutions today. There is always an exposure to risk resulting from acquiring an asset or incurring a liability such as liquidity risk, price risk and treasury risk. The Treasury Department provides a valuable role in the process of risk management, advising senior management and the Board of Directors on whether to hedge, what to hedge, how to hedge and the implications of hedging decisions. Failure to properly manage treasury risk can result in a misstatement of the bank’s risk profile and expose the bank to significant losses.
Focus on Treasury Risk, from Edcomm Banker’s Academy, is an interactive training program that teaches employees how to help implement policies, procedures and internal controls to reduce and mitigate the impact of treasury risks on their bank. Participants will learn identify and analyze treasury risk, as well as how to make performance measurements. The program also teaches students about foreign exchange risk management and how to use risk management tools.
