Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) Prep Course

Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) Prep Course

This course explores, from a practical perspective, the tools used in managing the treasury function of an organization to include instruments to finance the organization through bank financing, money and capital markets.  Risk is explicitly analyzed and used as a tool in establishing risk-return parameters for the organization.

This course covers the whole of the AFP treasury body of knowledge during the 11 week semester.  The AFP Treasury Learning System is used for the course, as well as the Cash Flow Problem Solver text, by Bryan Milling. The work is a combination of concepts, practice (calculations and analysis), and online case studies. 

Course Specifics
The course, FIN 589: Certified Treasury Professional Preparation Course, is a three semester credit hour course, and can be taken as an elective in the BBA Finance degree, MS Finance degree, MS in Accounting degree, or as a non-degree seeking student (please call 248-689-8282 if registering as a non-degree student). It is offered as an on ground or virtual blended course in the fall and spring semesters. Please see the academic calendar for specific dates.

The preparatory course provides a plethora of finance and treasury knowledge topics including:
