Course Objectives – (SAQA ID 116346)

The objective of this programme is to equip municipal financial managers and finance officials with the knowledge and practical skills required to apply the principles of cash and investment management within a municipal environment. The course aims to strengthen the ability of participants to manage municipal cash flows, ensure liquidity, and optimise the use of surplus funds through responsible investment practices.

Effective cash and investment management is critical to ensuring that municipalities maintain sufficient liquidity to meet operational obligations while safeguarding public funds. Municipal finance professionals must carefully monitor cash inflows and outflows, manage short-term financial commitments, and ensure that surplus funds are invested in accordance with legislative and regulatory requirements.

Through this programme, participants will develop an understanding of cash flow forecasting, investment policies, and financial risk management practices. The course also strengthens the ability of financial managers to analyse cash positions and investment opportunities to support informed financial decision-making by municipal leadership.
