The purpose of this module is to provide students with the opportunity to undertake a comprehensive case study whereby they get to assess the treasury risks a company is exposed to; can develop policies to manage these risks; implement hedging strategies to comply with policies; devise a 5 year funding plan; and advise on accounting implications of treasury activities. Students will be split into groups of three or four and will be required to meet regularly to complete the case study. An interim report is required in mid March and a final report and oral presentation in early May. Marks are awarded to the group with each student in this group obtaining these marks.
