Course Outline

Practicals

Overview

Hands-on practicals reinforce theoretical concepts through real-world simulations. Learners will prepare cash flow forecasts, optimise working capital, execute hedging strategies, and produce treasury reports using spreadsheets and case data.

Practical Activities

• Cash Flow Forecasting Exercise — Learners receive historical transaction data and must build a 3-month cash flow forecast in Excel, identifying surplus/deficit periods. (4h)
• Working Capital Optimisation Simulation — Using a simulated company's financials, learners propose changes to receivables, payables, and inventory policies to improve cash conversion cycle. (4h)
• Hedging Strategy Workshop — Given a foreign currency exposure scenario, learners select and price appropriate hedging instruments (forward, option) and document the strategy. (4h)
• Integrated Treasury Case Study — Teams manage a virtual company's treasury over a quarter, making decisions on cash management, banking, and risk, culminating in a treasury report. (4h)

Summatives

Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course via daily exercises, scored practical assignments, and a final summative test at the end.

Practical Assignments — 30%

Practical assignments are observed and scored against a rubric during the practical sessions. Each delegate's practical mark is averaged into a single 100% score and contributes 30% to the final total.

Daily Exercises — 20%

Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 20% to the final total.

Final Test — 50%

On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 50% to the overall mark.

Final Total

Component	Out of	Weight
Practical Assignments (rubric-scored)	100%	30%
Daily Average (multiple choice)	100%	20%
Final Test (multi-answer multiple choice)	100%	50%
Final Total	—	100%

All marks are recorded on the AATICD LMS and visible to each learner under their account.
