RAMON V. DEL ROSARIO COLLEGE OF BUSINESS


FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT
UNDERGRADUATE COURSE SYLLABUS, T1,AY 2021-2022

COURSE CODE : FINTREM


COURSE TITLE : FINANCIAL TREASURY MANAGEMENT
PREREQUISITE : FINTMED and INTFINA
CLASS DAYS AND TIME : TH 7:45-9:15 PM
INSTRUCTOR : Ms. Janessa B. Tan
CONSULTATION HOURS : By Appointment

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
TREAMFI (Treasury Management) is an intensive course on the theoretical concepts and practical
applications of the Treasury's role in managing the bank's asset and liability portfolio. The course shall
reacquaint students with the market factors that drive movement in the financial market. More importantly,
the course shall focus on the major functional areas of treasury management - asset liability management,
fixed income, currency, and derivatives (front-office). Risk management (middle-office) and treasury
operations and support (back-office) functions shall likewise be highlighted to show the controls needed to
be set up to effectively manage the risks undertaken by the bank. Overall, the course attempts to provide a
solid framework in which students will understand the Treasury's role and functions and apply the learning
in handling the assets and liabilities of a bank or of any organization.
The pre-requisites for the course are FINTMED and INTFINA. Although not directly required in the
curriculum, it is recommended that the students have already studied basic economic and mathematical
concepts taken in ECONTWO, FMMACRO, BUSMATH, FINMAT1, FINMAT2, and
FINMAN2. Treasury management requires a good grounding in economic concepts especially when
analyzing the behaviour of financial assets to the movement in interest rates and other relevant market
indicators.
The course equips the students with an intermediate knowledge in the treasury management of a bank that
prepares them for careers in asset-liability management, liquidity management, fixed income or currency
trading and dealership, market analysis, and risk management. The topics in the course partly cover the
subject matter of the Treasury Certification Program (TCP) by the Ateneo Center for Continuing Education
and the Bankers Institute of the Philippines and the Fixed Income Market Salesman License Exam by the
Philippine Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

This course will be delivered fully online for this A.Y 2020-2021, Term 3. Students are expected to
comply with all the requirements and the submissions online through Animo Space.

THE COVENANT FOR SHARED PROSPERITY

The COVID-19 pandemic has shaken the very foundations of our society and economy. It has already
claimed hundreds of Filipino lives and threatens so many more. The resulting government-imposed
quarantines and lockdowns have shut down businesses providing services and products needed by
citizens. This, in turn, has led to devastating loss of income for the many whom we depend on for our
businesses and organizations to function but who are also the most vulnerable in our communities. Many
of these people are now fearful for their lives not just from the virus but from hunger and starvation.
Hence, the current national health crisis, while terrible and disruptive for all of us, also leads us to look
with compassionate eyes at poverty and inequality as core problems plaguing Philippine society that
demand attention from us as the country’s business leaders -- during the pandemic and after.

The Philippine Business Groups (PBGs) support the vision of the government, articulated in Ambisyon
2040, which states that “the Philippines shall be a country where all citizens are free from hunger and
poverty, have equal opportunities, enabled by a fair and just society that is governed with order and unity.
A nation where families live together, thriving in vibrant, culturally diverse and resilient communities.”
We have 20 years to make this happen.

The PBGs realize that our country, like many other countries around the world, is suffering from gross
inequality not only in economic and financial terms but also in the social, environmental and political
aspects of our national life. This gross inequality in our society has been with us for generations fueled by
greed; illegal and unethical practices; callousness to the needs of our communities, especially those at the
bottom of the pyramid; and indifference to Mother Earth by some among us. We seek to end these
practices.

We believe that a way to address inequality in all its forms in our society and to enhance the dignity of
human beings and, thus, achieve inclusive development is for MAP members and member-companies to
collectively mobilize their human, technical, economic and financial resources to ensure ethical wealth
creation and the sharing of prosperity with all their stakeholders.
We also encourage all the colleges and universities offering business and business-related courses to
inculcate and emphasize among their students -- current and next generation of managers -- the principles
and practices of sharing prosperity.

We therefore pledge and commit to:

1. Recruit, train and develop our employees and managers to be the best that they can be
irrespective of gender, alma mater, age, ethnicity and religion; provide just compensation and benefits;
promote meritocracy and encourage work-life harmony;
2. Provide only quality products and services that are of continuing value to our customers;
3. Treat our goods, service and funds providers fairly, ethically and with respect as we expect them
to treat their own workers in their supply chain the same way;
4. Be actively involved in the communities where we operate in with particular attention to the
needs of the disadvantaged in those communities;
5. Protect and preserve the environment for the benefit of current and future generations by
employing environment friendly technologies in all aspects of business operations; and
6. Deliver reasonable and just returns to and fair treatment of our controlling and non-controlling
shareholders.
We pledge to do all these and sign this Covenant for Shared Prosperity on this 5th day of November, 2020.
