Course Introduction
This course provides an advanced and comprehensive exploration of treasury operations and fiscal governance systems within modern public financial management environments. It is designed to strengthen institutional capacity in managing public funds efficiently, transparently, and in alignment with national fiscal policies and governance frameworks. Participants will gain a deep understanding of how treasury systems function as the backbone of government financial stability and service delivery.
The program focuses on the operational and strategic dimensions of treasury management, including cash flow planning, liquidity management, payment systems, and public expenditure controls. It emphasizes how strong treasury operations contribute to fiscal discipline, reduce inefficiencies, and ensure timely execution of government budgets across sectors and levels of administration.
A key component of the course is fiscal governance, which examines the rules, institutions, and accountability mechanisms that guide public financial management. Participants will explore how governance structures influence transparency, oversight, and compliance in treasury operations, ensuring that public resources are managed in accordance with legal and policy frameworks.

It equips participants with tools to modernize treasury operations using integrated financial management systems and data-driven decision-making approaches.
In addition, the program explores the relationship between treasury operations and macroeconomic stability. Participants will understand how effective cash and debt management supports broader fiscal policy objectives, stabilizes public finances, and enhances government credibility in both domestic and international financial markets.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to design, manage, and evaluate advanced treasury systems that strengthen fiscal governance, improve financial control, and enhance overall efficiency in public sector financial operations.
