The CTA Certified Treasury Analyst program is a rigorous, career-accelerating certification for treasury, finance, and risk professionals who want to lead modern corporate treasury in the real-time, digital, ESG-integrated, cyber-threatened, and geopolitically volatile world.

Treasury today is a strategic powerhouse — driving enterprise value, resilience, and sustainability while protecting cash flows and minimizing risk. Treasurers must deliver instant global visibility, automate via AI and APIs, optimize working capital through advanced supply-chain finance, hedge emerging risks (climate, cyber, geopolitical), secure green/sustainable funding, manage tokenized/CBDC instruments, and report performance in ways that satisfy boards, investors, rating agencies, and regulators.

This program provides best-practice knowledge and hands-on skills across the full treasury spectrum — from cash & liquidity excellence to enterprise risk governance, ESG integration, cyber resilience, advanced funding innovation, and strategic leadership — enabling participants to reduce costs, strengthen resilience, unlock cash, and become indispensable strategic partners to the CFO, CEO, and board.

• Design, govern, and lead a high-performance, secure, digital-first treasury function aligned with best practices 

• Achieve real-time cash visibility, dynamic liquidity management, and accurate forecasting under multiple risk scenarios 

• Optimize end-to-end working capital — accelerating receivables, strategically extending payables, reducing inventory drag, and leveraging supply-chain/digital finance 

• Identify, measure, and hedge FX, interest rate, commodity, cyber, geopolitical, and climate/ESG risks using advanced derivatives and structured products 

• Secure optimal funding — traditional debt, green/sustainability-linked instruments, private credit, hybrid capital, and emerging tokenized solutions 

• Implement and leverage treasury technology (cloud TMS, API banking, RPA, AI forecasting, real-time connectivity) to automate routine tasks and focus on strategic value 

• Strengthen enterprise risk management, cyber/fraud resilience, operational controls, and business continuity specific to treasury 

• Integrate ESG and sustainability into treasury strategy — green financing, climate risk in liquidity/funding, and ESG-linked hedging 

• Manage treasury in crisis, M&A funding, restructuring, and high-uncertainty environments 

• Measure and communicate treasury performance using board-level KPIs that demonstrate tangible value creation
