SLG Treasury Revision 2022 - Vienna & Online | Schwabe, Ley & Greiner | 28 June 2021 | TBA, Vienna - Online

Establish and review principles, guidelines and limits in treasury management.

A lack of guidelines or inadequate organizational requirements in the treasury area contribute significantly to increased risks or losses. The timely identification, limitation and professional control of operational and financial risk potential is therefore of particular importance. Recommendations from associations, new legal regulations and requirements from supervisory authorities increasingly require the establishment of an early warning system for risk management in the company. The focus of the seminar is the implementation of these suggestions in practice and their operational effects on treasury management in the company.

• Organization and framework for action.
