Financial Risk Management
Companies face significant exposures to financial risks (e.g. foreign currency, interest rate, credit risk…). It’s one of the core duties of the Treasurer to identify, manage and mitigate their impact on business, cash flows & profitability.
O2 Finance helps Treasurers & CFO's tackle those challenges from start to finish by:
- assessing true net financial exposures through reaching out to business units, procurement & sales functions;
- defining objectives & strategies for managing those risks;
- setting-up appropriate processes and systems to support a lean execution of risk management operations.
We have developed tools & methodologies to facilitate and accelerate the delivery of the benefits of these projects.
Case studies
- For a leading chemical company, we have reviewed FX hedging strategy and analysed pro’s & con's of moving to alternative approaches;
- For an industrial company with global footprint (including in emerging economies), we have assessed FX risks and developed a comprehensive strategy to manage these from the source by reinforcing links between Treasury, Procurement and Sales team.
