Risk Management explained by treasuryXL

26-05-2022 | treasuryXL | LinkedIn

 

From a Treasury perspective, Risk Management is the practice of planning for unexpected expenditures. It is primarily about mitigating and avoiding the impact of the changing financial environment on the company’s cash flow objectives.

Risk management is a broad term, though. Depending on the context of a company’s operations, it can also have very different meanings, so it is also useful here to point out the forms of risk management that fall outside the scope of Treasury. This is not an article about governmental regulation, earthquakes, political instability, or the threat of potential new business competitors. These forms of risk are the concern of other departments within the corporation. This article is about risk management specifically within the context of Treasury.

10-05-2022 | treasuryXL | Gtreasury | LinkedIn |

Continuing to modernize its digital treasury and risk management ecosystem with strategic partnerships, GTreasury now offers platform interoperability and data integration with Moody’s Analytics’ ALM SaaS product

CHICAGO, Ill. – May 10, 2022 – GTreasury, a treasury and risk management platform provider, today announced a collaboration with Moody’s Analytics, a global provider of analytic tools and risk assessment capabilities, to enable customers to seamlessly leverage Moody’s Analytics’ market-leading asset and liability management (ALM) SaaS product. Moody’s Analytics’ ALM SaaS product is now available as an interoperable and integrated component within GTreasury’s continuously modernizing software-as-a-service ecosystem for treasury and finance teams.

As small and medium-sized financial institutions grow, accumulated data reaches volume and complexity beyond what manual spreadsheets or outdated software can reliably or efficiently handle. These legacy approaches place increasing strain on internal staff – especially when accelerating growth puts financial institutions within the purview of new regulatory reporting requirements. Banks, credit unions, and other institutions in this position must implement automated capabilities that remove the burdens of routine ALM tasks and monitor and manage their risk far more effectively and completely.

Moody’s Analytics’ ALM SaaS product leads the industry in meeting these requirements, offering a seamless enterprise platform that integrates ALM, liquidity risk management, funds transfer pricing, and regulatory reporting capabilities. Institutions leveraging the product can fully integrate ALM into their business management and regulatory compliance processes, optimizing capital distribution to achieve strategic benchmarks. The product eases the management of even the most complex ALM tasks, while also providing a foundation for defining client behavioral models and forecasts, and delivering data-backed insights that drive key business decisions.

“Moody’s Analytics offers the most comprehensive and capable ALM product on the market today,” said Terry Beadle, Global Head of Corporate Development at GTreasury. “Small and mid-sized financial institutions struggling under the burden of their asset and liability management duties, especially from a regulatory compliance perspective, are instantly and significantly empowered by the automation and powerful tooling Moody’s Analytics’ ALM SaaS product puts at their command. We’re excited to introduce the many benefits of Moody’s Analytics’ offering to our customers as an interoperable, fully data-integrated, market-leading component of the GTreasury ecosystem.”

With Moody’s Analytics’ ALM SaaS product now available as another component within GTreasury’s ecosystem, customers can easily integrate their data and begin to harness the ALM solution across their treasury and risk management practices.

“Pairing GTreasury’s treasury and risk management system and our own leading ALM SaaS product is an advantageous strategy for firms optimizing performance and streamlining operations,” said Cayetano Gea-Carrasco, Managing Director at Moody’s Analytics. “We’re proud to work with GTreasury to help customers to realize their efficiency goals, and to make more informed and accurate business management decisions based on this seamless data.”

03-05-2022 | treasuryXL | Gtreasury | LinkedIn |

 

Hedging can be used as a strategic advantage in times of volatility, especially for currency risk. Register for this Treasury & Risk webcast to discover how hedging can be used as a strategic advantage in times of volatility. 

Date: Wednesday, May 4, 2022

Time: 2:00 p.m. ET |11:00 a.m. PT

Cost: Complimentary



Many companies are exposed to currency risk: a risk to earnings driven by changes in currency exchange rates. A hedge program is designed to drive predictability in financial statements and protect margin and earnings from unexpected changes. However, there are common roadblocks to hedging, like complex accounting rules and control requirements. Plus, current global events have paused companies who think it’s too late – or too risky – to get started. But ignoring hedging is not going to make the risk go away.

How do you safely harness hedging? What solutions provide continuity in addressing market and internal risk? When is the right time to hedge?

Join this webcast to discover how hedging can be used as a strategic advantage in times of volatility. You will learn to:

  • Understand what hedging can and cannot do, and where and how it can bring you the most success.
  • Identify key elements in an FX hedge program necessary for success.
  • Navigate market events and volatility, and redirect resources while keeping business operations steady.
  • Automate treasury and accounting workflows to reduce risk and manual errors.
  • Improve compliance and operational efficiencies.

Why becoming a Register Treasurer is so much more than completing a course!

02-05-2022 | treasuryXL | Pieter de KiewitLinkedIn |

Next to being a treasury recruiter, I am also a very happy member of the so-called curatorium of the postgraduate education Treasury Management & Corporate Finance of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Graduates completed an intense 18-month program and can be recognized by the “RT” behind their name: Register Treasurer which can be translated into “chartered treasurer”. The program is taught in English, has already existed for over 20 years and there are many “RTs” in prominent places in the treasury community. Last week, I attended the latest diploma ceremony, was inspired, and decided I want to tell you more.
