Global Learning for Operational Leaders
Introduction
Course overview
Movements in interest rates and exchange rates can erase operating profits, increase debt costs and create unexpected volatility in reported results. Organisations with foreign currency revenues, imported inputs, international investments or floating-rate borrowing need a disciplined way of identifying and managing these exposures.
This Treasury Risk Management training course gives participants a practical understanding of how to measure interest rate and currency risk and how to use common hedging instruments responsibly. Participants work through forwards, swaps, options and natural hedging techniques, and learn how to choose between them based on cost, flexibility and risk appetite.
The course also covers the policy, governance, accounting and control framework that a sound hedging programme requires, so that participants can design and defend a hedging strategy that protects the organisation rather than creating new risks.
