Treasury Risk Management in Practice

Heatmaps, AI Forecasting & Balance Sheet Resilience

Masterclass Introduction

This three-day, in-person masterclass offers a comprehensive and practical exploration of treasury risk management, designed specifically for professionals working in corporate finance and treasury functions. Structured across three progressive learning days, the program blends expert instruction with hands-on exercises, real-world case studies, and guided AI demonstrations to ensure participants gain both conceptual clarity and applied competence.
The course begins with foundational work on identifying and mapping the full spectrum of treasury risks using heatmaps and structured risk frameworks. It then builds into advanced forecasting techniques using accessible AI concepts— focusing on cash flow modeling, anomaly detection, and stress testing in non-technical formats. The final day transitions into proactive risk mitigation strategies, covering liquidity buffers, hedging instruments, counterparty risks, and their direct connection to balance sheet health.
Each session is interactive, featuring group discussions, scenario-based exercises, and Excel-driven simulations to reinforce learning. Non-technical demonstrations of machine learning applications are integrated to show how emerging tools can enhance forecasting and risk assessment without requiring programming knowledge.
This masterclass is designed not only to teach best practices, but to provide participants with a repeatable, structured approach they can immediately apply in their own organizations—ultimately helping to strengthen decision-making, enhance liquidity planning, and support overall financial resilience.

Mr. Peter Bokma

Peter began his career in 1978 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, in the then-called “Dealing Room, ” marking the start of a long and distinguished journey in treasury, trading, and investments. With a pioneering spirit, he embraced technical analysis during the early 1980s, initially relying on hand-drawn charts crafted on graphic paper before transitioning to advanced digital charting tools like Reuters terminals. This foundation enabled him to develop a profound understanding of market dynamics and financial instruments over decades of experience. Throughout his career, Peter has upheld a core philosophy: success in finance comes from combining sharp analytical skills with disciplined money management techniques. This approach has consistently driven profitable outcomes across diverse markets and economic cycles. Starting as a junior trader, he steadily advanced to senior trader and chief dealer roles, eventually assuming treasurer responsibilities.
His expertise extends beyond trading into risk management and treasury operations, where he has served as a trusted freelance consultant. Peter’s consulting work has helped organizations across multiple industries tackle complex exposure and risk challenges while also advising on treasury system implementations and technology upgrades.
Currently based in the Philippines, Peter focuses on empowering finance and treasury professionals through education in investments, trading, and money management. His mission is to equip individuals and organizations with the knowledge and practical skills necessary to generate sustainable value and make sound financial decisions in an increasingly complex global marketplace.
