Treasury Salon second session was a great success last week. Four panelists (Peter Ha, Winter Wang, Claire Han, Katja Cheng) shared their deep insight and valuable knowledge about Treasury department. The topic covered detailed explanation of organization structure in Treasury department and the coordination and support between various functions. At the same time, the topic went through the crucial position and differences of treasury management both in banks and cooperation.
The last two sessions of treasury salon will focus on detailed introduction about the functions in treasury department, as well as requirements for different functions. Next session is around the corner, we have three experienced panelists coming to join us and share their own experience and understanding of treasury department.
During the Q&A section, treasury salon candidates proposed in-depth questions and discussed with panelists. It is also worth mentioning that several treasury salon candidates were applying or interviewing for the related position in major financial institutions and the salon offered precious treasury knowledge to help our candidate strive in the financial market.
