Treasury Management
Treasury Management is defined by the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA) as “the management of the organisation’s investments and cash flows, its banking, money market and capital market transactions; the effective control of the risks associated with those activities; and the pursuit of optimum performance consistent with those risks”.
Treasury Management Strategy Statement: In accordance with the CIPFA Code of Practice on Treasury Management in Public Services, the Commissioner approves on an annual basis a Treasury Management Strategy Statement (TMSS) as part of the overall budget setting process. The TMSS includes an annual Investment and Borrowing Strategy that sets out our policy and practices for managing investment and borrowing. It also sets out Prudential Indicators that govern our treasury management activity. Our arrangements for treasury management are undertaken in accordance with the CIPFA Code of Practice and under guidance from specialist treasury management advisors.
The Treasury Management Strategy Statement for 2024/25 and Prudential Indicators 2024/25 to 2027/28 was approved by the Commissioner at a meeting of the Public Accountability Conference on 15 February 2024 and can be found using the link below.
