Course Overview

The controller plays a key role in debt management by ensuring accurate financial records, overseeing budgeting and forecasting, and implementing internal controls to prevent fraud and mismanagement. They also ensure compliance with financial regulations and policies related to debt—making them central to both the strategic and operational aspects of financial decision-making. But in today’s complex financial environment, controllers must go beyond routine oversight and become proactive drivers of debt strategy.

Debt management often includes administering loan agreements and ensuring bank compliance.
