The CAS Bank Treasury Risk Management and The BTRM Certificate of Bank Treasury Risk Management is a six-month part-time course designed to empower individuals working in, or intending to work in, every aspect of bank balance sheet risk management and asset-liability management (ALM).

In recent years and since the 2007-08 Global Financial Crisis (GFC), Asset and Liability Management became a focus area for banks. The efficient management of financial resources such as capital, funding and liquidity developed to be a key success factor for the steering of economic performance.
In a period of prolonged low interest rates, profitability of banking books continues to deteriorate. The maturity transformation business, creating margin from the difference between rates paid on the liability side and rates received from the lending side, is under pressure. Treasurers are confronted with new, highly profit-relevant challenges.
With the growth of complexity in treasury, regulators also expect a stronger governance over this function raising the need for enhanced knowledge of organizational optimization.

The programme will prepare and enable students to become highly competent managers in a number of areas of finance including asset and liability management, liquidity management, regulatory capital management, hedging, risk management and other finance topics relevant for bank treasury management / ALM. The programme will integrate theory and practice to provide students with an in-depth knowledge of real-world bank ALM and risk management practices and their application in financial markets.
