Taxation and Treasury Policies Kenya Zambia EAC
Bridging Tax Strategy and Corporate Treasury Management Across Kenya, Zambia and the EAC
About this course
Most finance courses treat tax as an afterthought, and most tax courses treat treasury as someone else's problem. In practice, the two are inseparable — and nowhere is that more visible than for treasurers managing cross-border trade, shifting currencies, and diverging tax regimes across Kenya, Zambia, and the wider East African Community (EAC).
This Seya Capital Taxation and Treasury Policies training course closes that gap. It gives treasury and tax professionals a single, practical framework for recognising tax planning opportunities and applying core treasury strategy, grounded in real case studies from the region and beyond.
This Seya Capital training course will highlight:
- The definition of tax and treasury management
- The structure of a treasury management division
- The functions of the treasurer and controller
- An overview of global, regional, and Kenyan and Zambian corporate taxes
- Treasury operations and processes
