- Recognise the main types of liquidity risk and how banks organise and govern liquidity day to day
- Explain the key regulatory ratios in plain terms, the LCR and the NSFR, and what each one is really measuring
- Understand ILAAP and how banks manage liquidity beyond the headline ratios
- See how funds transfer pricing puts a real price on liquidity across the balance sheet
- Build a contingency funding plan and run liquidity stress tests for a crisis
- Follow how the treasury function manages cash each day and how banks raise funding in the markets
- Manage cross border liquidity and forecast funding needs ahead of time
About this course
Liquidity is no longer something a bank thinks about only in a crisis. It is a daily discipline, and when it goes wrong it goes wrong quickly. This course takes you from why liquidity matters through the ratios, the frameworks and the day to day practice of managing it in a real bank. You will cover the LCR, the NSFR and ILAAP, funds transfer pricing, contingency funding plans and stress testing, and see how the treasury function keeps a bank funded.
It suits anyone whose work touches liquidity: Treasury, ALM, Liquidity Risk, Finance, Regulatory Reporting, Internal Audit and Model Risk. You do not need a treasury background to start. By the end you will understand how the pieces fit together and be able to take part in liquidity decisions with confidence.
Who this is for
- Treasury, ALM and finance professionals who want to understand liquidity from the ground up.
- Analysts and graduates moving into a treasury or balance sheet role.
- Risk and regulatory reporting staff who need to speak the language of liquidity with confidence.
Requirements
- • No prior treasury experience is needed. The course assumes you are starting fresh.
- • A basic understanding of how a bank makes money is helpful but not required.
