Associate Professor Madhu Veeraraghavan, Deputy Head Finance, Kevin Tant and Anh Nguyen explain the operations of the Treasury Dealing Room to visitors.

Treasury Dealing Room showcased as Teaching Excellence

The Treasury Dealing Room in the Department of Accounting and Finance was showcased during the Vice-Chancellor’s Showcase of Teaching Excellence held at Caulfield Campus.

The Treasury Dealing Room is a perfect example of technology, innovation, engagement and internationalisation in finance education. It has a computer-based system, which replicates Australia's financial institutions, using software developed by staff from the Department of Accounting and Finance.

The system integrates real-time financial data and back-office reconciliation of transactions bringing together market information, development of strategies, communication and profitability.

The Treasury Dealing Room provides students with the opportunity to apply theoretical finance concepts learned in the classroom by "hands on" application. In essence, it creates a rigorous market atmosphere in the university classroom. For more information go to http://www.buseco.monash.edu.au/aaf/research/tdr/
