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.  


In the commercial context, the framework that provides guidance on corporate strategy including assessing risk, ensures effective monitoring of management by the board of directors and makes certain the board is accountable to the company and the shareholders.
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.

Comparable frameworks in non-commercial organisations. In the non-commercial context the term 'governance' (without the 'corporate' part) is more common.
