Programme Code: CRS-N-0045006 (Funding Validity Period: 23 Nov 2017 - 30 Sep 2020)

Overview

Debt Management

Globalisation and digitisation are driving the transformation of finance and treasury functions. Senior finance professionals need to move beyond their traditional roles as stewards to become strategists and catalysts for change in their organisations.

Recognising the challenges arising from market volatility and technology disruption, Deloitte and Singapore Management University are collaborating to offer a series of Corporate Financial Risk Management Masterclasses at the SMU Academy.

The SMU-Deloitte Corporate Financial Risk Management Masterclass is a series of two-day workshops that provide a holistic approach to effective financial risk management, with the third masterclass focusing on debt management, specifically the dynamics of debt markets and decision-making framework for corporate bond issuance.

Delivered through a combination of lectures and case discussions, participants will gain practical knowledge and insights to help them optimise capital structure, manage interest rate and funding risk.
