Excerpt

"Treasury departments typically are skilled in managing liquidity, foreign exchange, and interest rate risks-exposures that have long been in their domain. With increasing frequency, members are sharing with us their experiences of leading or contributing to the management of other risks. Credit risk, market risk, and energy risk now are on treasury's plate. Though to a lesser degree, treasury also works with other parts of their organizations to address commodity and non-financial risks, such as strategic and operational risks.

"And why not? Treasury is one of the few functions that can combine process expertise, long standing business unit relationships, and detailed knowledge of their businesses to inform a cohesive organization-wide risk management program."

- From Treasury's Growing Role in Risk Management by Kraig Conrad, CTP, Director of Corporate Finance and Risk Management, AFP, and Jeff Glenzer, CTP, Director of Treasury Services, AFP
