Treasury is a critical activity for overall corporate performance for many organisations. Large transactions are undertaken in treasury and exposures to financial market volatility and counterparties cannot be fully avoided. As a result, treasury activity can have very high positive or negative effects on the organisation’s performance. It is essential that those responsible for these activities have the necessary concepts and expertise to properly manage them. It is also vital that ‘best practice’ controls and systems are in place, from boardroom to dealing room, so as to properly manage and control the treasury risks.

FTI has published a definitive 'Guide to Treasury Best Practice & Terminology' in conjunction with WWCP, the publishers and Lloyds TSB, the publication sponsors. This Guide defines a 'best practice methodology' in the core areas of treasury – funding, debt, cash and foreign exchange transactions and translations – and sets out policy, governance and control, and reporting standards for these areas.

This is the first internationally recognised guide to treasury best practice & is based on the Treasury 50 BPs© developed by FTI. To purchase a copy, or to read more, go to www.treasurybestpractice.com.
