Corporate treasury

Corporate treasury refers to treasury activities which are carried out in companies which use financial products to support their main business; usually a trading business.

This is in contrast to treasury activities which take place in banks and financial institutions (generally providers of financial products) and in the public sector, and to work carried out by treasury professionals acting as advisers and consultants.

The individuals who work in the treasury function of trading companies are known as corporate treasurers.
