WHY YOU SHOULD COME TO THIS COURSE:

Treasury Management is the process of managing the Council’s cash flow to optimise both borrowing and investment. Following the introduction of Self Financing for the Housing Revenue Account the Council has borrowings of £185 million and investments of £55 million. These are significant amounts and both need to be managed in a way that supports the Council’s overall aims and objectives. The Treasury Management Strategy is updated and approved annually as part of the budget process. This training has been timed to assist Members in their consideration of the Treasury Management Strategy for 2019/20.

The training will be provided by the Council’s external treasury management advisers, Arlingclose Ltd. The training will cover areas such as the Prudential Code, financial markets and their regulation, credit ratings and options for both borrowing and investing funds.
