CTM (Certified Treasury Manager program),USA

With the significant developments that have taken place in the Capital, Money, and Foreign Exchange Marketsin the recent years affecting volatility in exchange rates and accentuating liquidity constraints, corporate and

banks have started paying closer attention to the treasury and forex management function. The globalization of

the economy with mobilization and deployment of funds from/in other countries is also necessitating growing

attention in the area of treasury and forex management.

Treasury Management


6/44

Treasury Management is fast emerging as a specialization in many companies and the accounting function is

being delinked from the finance function. Highly focused knowledge of capital markets, money markets,

instruments and investment avenues, treasury and risk management and related areas, has become essential for

managing the treasury profit center successfully.

Forex Management

In the field of Forex Management, the opportunities to raise money outside India, and the factors which

influence the evaluation of overseas capital investment projects, are not completely understood. The network of

payments and the international investments have elevated the study of finance to a multinational scale. Events

in distant lands, whether they involve changes in the prices of oil and gold, election results, the outbreak of war,

or the establishment of peace, have effects which instantly reverberate around the globe. In this increasingly

integrated and interdependent financial environment, the links between money and capital markets have become

extremely close.

In the wake of these interesting developments in the field of Treasury and Forex Management, ACTM (India) in

collaboration with the Association of Chartered Treasury Managers (ACTM), USA has developed a unique

Professional Certification Program in Treasury and Forex Management titled "The Certified Treasury Manager"

Program for the benefit of postgraduate students in management and professionals/working executives engagedor interested in the area of treasury and forex management. Successful completion of the CTM Program leads to

the Membership in Association of Certified Treasury Managers, India. The members are entitled to use the

"CTM" in short. The members are also entitled to become affiliate members in the Association of Chartered

Treasury Managers, USA.

Objectives

The Certified Treasury Manager Program is a highly specialized course imparting focused knowledge in the

areas of treasury, forex and risk management.

The CTM Program has the following objectives:

To develop a new body of knowledge and skills and make it available for those seeking challenging careers

in the new era of liberalization and globalization.

To provide a conceptual framework for understanding the Money Markets and the Foreign Exchange

Markets.

To cultivate appreciation of the inter-linkages between the Money Markets and Foreign Exchange Markets

and the practical implications of these linkages.

To improve the ability for measuring and managing financial risks in corporate and banks.

To impart skills in treasury and foreign exchange management which are relevant in the electronic age,

where managers will be operating in a web enabled environment.

Duration

The CTM Program may be completed in a period of one year.

Period of Validity of Enrollment


7/44

The enrollment of a candidate in the CTM Program is valid for three years from the date of enrollment.

Indian Institute of Financial Management, Mumbai

Courses

Joint Degree MBA (PGDBM) & MS in Partnership with TJSL, USAFull Time

PGDBM in Partnership with AAFM, USA

Full Time

Institute Description:

IIFM offers 2 world class Business programs. One of them is a joint degree PGDBM program with the Thomas

Jefferson School of Law, San Diego, California in the USA (TJSL); the other is a PGDBM program in

partnership with the American Academy of Financial Management, USA (AAFM).

IIFM is a division of IBA (Indian Business Academy) Pvt. Ltd. The main promoter of the institute is Jagmohan

Bhanver. Jag Bhanver has been a senior banker and has worked with three of the largest banks in India and is

also an internationally acclaimed thought leader. He is considered to be a Mentor to CEOs and Directors

globally, including top executives in India. PeopleFirst (India) is the knowledge partner for IIFM, and the entire

curriculum for IIFM has been designed by PeopleFirst in tandem with senior HR & business professionals in

leading MNCs and Indian companies. PeopleFirst is one of the leading coaching companies in South Asia and

has coached/ educated more than 15,000 professionals in the last three years.

For its Business Management (PGDBM) programs, IIFM has a tie-up with two leading educational institutes inthe world TJSL (Thomas Jefferson School of Law, California) and AAFM (American Academy of Financial

Management, USA). IIFM offers Indias first Joint degree MBA (PGDBM) program with a leading American

college, TJSL. For more details on the joint degree program, go to Joint degree PGDBM program. IIFM alsooffers a PGDBM program in partnership with another leading American college, AAFM.

For its specialized financial programs, IIFM again has a tie-up with AAFM (American Academy of Financial

Management) USA, which is the global certifying body that issues board certification while also recognizing

qualified certification-education programs worldwide. AAFM currently recognizes over 55,000 PhDs, CPAs,

AACSB Graduates, & Masters Degree Holders as associates, lawyers, executive members, fellows, and

certified members in over 150 nations. Presently, AAFM has over 200,000 associate members and candidates.

As there had not been a graduate professional financial organization specifically for accredited degree holders,MBAs, CPAs, Lawyers and PhDs, the AAFM has met this need and become the organization of choice for

highly educated individuals or industry experts because AAFM requires an accredited college degree for

membership and certification. For more details on the specialized finance programs, go to Specialized banking

& finance programs

The Advisory Board of IIFM comprises top names in companies from India and overseas. It includes

educationists and alumni from Harvard Business School, Stern NYU, Edinburgh University, IIMs, IITs, XLRI,


41/44

Jamshedpur, SP Jain, NMIMS and other top institutions. CEOs, Directors and top entrepreneurs are also on the

IIFM advisory board.

IIFM mirrors the respective strengths of its promoters, its knowledge partner PeopleFirst (India) as well as itsimmensely qualified and broad-based Advisory board members. IIFMs strengths are heightened by the fact that

its strategic business partners (leading companies in FMCG, Manufacturing, Banking, Insurance andothers) have also contributed in a large way to ensuring that all the programs offered at IIFM are highly

effective and capable of making IIFM students indispensable in the business world.

This is why the curriculum and the programs at IIFM are so effective that some professionals comment that a

typical IIFM pass-out will probably have more knowledge of specialized business & financial topics than a

regular MBA student with 3-4 years of professional experience.

The Global economy & the Indian market

From a time ten years back when India had 3-4 key private banks, there are now more than 15 MNC and Indian

banks, and still more international banks are vying to set up shop in India. The Banking sector today comprises

approximately 2.5% of the GDP of India and possibly generates jobs for more than 6,00,000 people. The

Insurance industry too has grown in leaps and bounds. In April, 2000 there were only 2 insurance state ownedcompanies in India. At present, there are more than 37 insurance firms, including leading MNC players and

best-in-class Indian JV partners. Insurance penetration is close to 2.2% of GDP. Insurance comprises more than

15% of Indias GDS (Gross Domestic Savings) and employs more than 2,50,000 people. The old economy has

changed to include industries and businesses that require a completely new skills set and knowledge.

The competencies that were required to manage business a mere 5 years back might not be sufficient for a

practicing manager today. It is a global economy today and the competencies required to do well in the businessworld today require a Global manager perspective, which is strangely lacking in most management education

today.

IIFMs response to the above challenges

IIFMs philosophy is one of pre-emptive thinking rather than a knee-jerk reaction. Change is not new and

every industry has faced the impact of changes recently. It is reasonable to expect that yet more changes will

happen in coming years and so it is only fair that one plans for them in advance. Remember, the same changecan mean an opportunity for someone and a threat for someone else, depending on how well prepared they

are or otherwise.

IIFM believes in preparing for change; rather than waiting for it to happen to you.

Consequently, our curriculum has been built in such a way that it incorporates not only the knowledge that is

relevant for challenges today, but also skills and information that would be relevant for changes that might

happen tomorrow. The course content on the specialized Banking & finance programs for instance covers


42/44

intricate details related to stock market, commodities, derivatives, financial planning, asset allocation, margin

trading, behavioral finance, structured products and several other topics which will ensure that IIFM students

stay well ahead of everyone in this field. In the case of the PGDBM programs too, content from the

international alliances of IIFM ensures that our PGDBM students are well ahead of their counterparts anywhere

else.

Since the future business leader cant just be focused on the Indian market and requires tremendous global

exposure, we have affiliations and tie-ups with the best and highly reputed institutions in the world, namely

AAFM (American Academy of Financial Management) and TJSL (Thomas Jefferson School of Law, San

Diego, California). These affiliations and tie-ups ensure that our students learn from global best practices and

from the world leaders in education, thereby not just getting a great job in India but also enjoying tremendous

opportunity for high powered careers abroad.

Our faculty comprises not just academicians from the best of institutes, but also senior professionals. The idea

being that theoretical concepts get supplemented with real time practical knowledge.

Our strategic partners Companies in Manufacturing, Banking, FMCG & Media, HR & manpower consultants

as well as our advisory board ensure that IIFM students get the best mentoring possible, even before they join

an organization. With the countrys best minds guiding these students, their success is ensured.

On the specialized financial programs front, IIFM is turning out to be the one-point contact for organizations in

Banking and financial services to hire quality resources. Given the need for certified resources in this industry

and the gap between their requirement and availability, it is not surprising that a majority of IIFM students are

expected to receive an appointment letter from the best of Banks, Insurance companies and financial services

firms, at the time of joining IIFM. In the Joint degree PGDBM program offered by IIFM, the innovative

combination of MBA (PGDBM) and Business Law in 2 years means a student gets two degrees, thecombination of which is tremendously in demand by industries today, whether it is in India or anywhere else in

the world.
