What makes a good treasurer?
An effective treasurer needs to analyse and absorb information quickly and have good accuracy and attention to detail. The treasury profession is increasingly attracting innovative, numerate individuals with a good degree who are willing to take responsibility for what are often difficult decisions on treasury matters. Careful evaluation and control are required when using sophisticated and dynamic financial markets and financial instruments which help the company manage its foreign exchange and interest rate risks. Treasury can be a financially rewarding career and is often considered a necessary step to more senior positions in an organisation.
