In the present changing and highly competitive business environment, the finance function in an organization has taken the center stage. The treasury division of a business entity can now effectively contribute to its bottom line. The increasing diversity coupled with associated risks in finance functions have led to enhanced demand for qualified and action-driven finance professionals.

The present Programme aims to provide cutting edge knowledge in the frontiers of finance using latest pedagogy to develop brilliant finance minds. The Programme is designed to provide training in the techniques and nuances in finance expected of a successful professional in the corporate sector, banks, and financial institutions.
