Preparing for Treasury Management CertificationRevised in 2008 to conform to the 2nd edition of AFP's Essentials of Treasury Management.
A Time-Tested Guide to Passing the ExamIf you're planning to sit for the AFP's Certified Treasury Professional examination, you've got the AFP's Essentials of Treasury Management, second edition, a calculator, and maybe a study group. Now you can add another valuable resource — a workbook that provides detailed insights into concepts, formulas, and treasury topics as well as tests with questions in the format of the real exam. Author Ken Parkinson has developed this book specifically for certification test-takers and walks you through each chapter from Essentials. You get all this in one book:
It's like having access to your own private tutorStudy at your own pace with professional guidance. At seminars and at New York University, Ken Parkinson has trained hundreds of cash managers. He helped develop the first cash management certification test, was one of the original test writers, and was coeditor of the first three editions of Essentials of Cash Management. Put his experience to work for you.Ken helps you understand complex theories and formulas and points out important items as you work through the book. To see for yourself how user friendly and helpful the book is, check out some sample pages. That's not all. For each of the chapter groups, Ken has provided practice tests. This lets you determine how well you're progressing unit by unit. Although these tests are not derived from and may not reflect the real exam, they are valuable in preparing for the exam. By answering test questions from groups of several chapters, you have a better measure of your comprehension than if you answer questions chapter by chapter. Here's what other users say"I am now a CTP, thanks mostly to your inspiration . . . and your extremely helpful book. I truly feel that my success was directly attributable to following the study plan, incorporating your insights, and then mastering the extremely helpful tests. Your book proved to be the difference between success and failure, and I am grateful." [Corporate treasury manager]"I used your book, and I passed. By the way, your exams were harder than the real exam, and I thought that was good!" [Corporate treasury manager] "I wanted to say 'thank you' for your exam book.

It was the most comprehensive tool I found." [Bank treasury management group leader] Practice questions galore!All in all, there are more than twice as many questions in this book than you'll have to answer on the certification test. In addition to the group test exercises, there is a final practice exam with the same number and mix of questions that you'll face in the real exam.All the questions are original and are not old exam questions. And the final exam has 170 questions that are brand new for this edition. Each test comes with answers, references to the study guide, and discussions where appropriate. If you haven't faced a long multiple choice exam recently, you'll want to get as many tips about the body of knowledge, understand the formulas and problems more clearly, and practice on as many questions as you can. And if you find it difficult to study by reading material on your PC, this book is designed for you. Even if you do study on your PC, you can get more with this book because you will benefit from the author's vast experience. And it's portable—no Internet access required.
