CAS Bank Treasury Risk Management and The BTRM Certificate of Bank Treasury Risk Management, FHNW School of Business

This course is practitioner-led and developed by experienced professionals from the banking and risk management sector. It offers a hands-on, real-world approach that bridges theory and practice. In light of recent banking failures such as Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, the programme emphasises conservative principles and sound balance sheet governance. It also responds to growing regulatory expectations and the need for organisational optimisation in the treasury function.

Participants gain the skills to analyse ALM risks in depth and design effective strategies for their institutions. This prepares them for senior roles in treasury, ALM, risk management, liquidity planning or regulatory capital management – in both national and international contexts.
