When Currency Moves, Does Your Margin Move With It?
This masterclass is designed for CFOs, finance leaders and business owners at small and mid-sized companies with recurring foreign-currency revenues, expenses or purchases who want greater visibility and discipline around their FX exposure.
Currency movements can affect margins, cash flow and financial results, sometimes before the full impact is clearly understood. In this introductory session, participants will learn how foreign-exchange exposure can arise within a business, what to consider when reviewing that exposure, and how companies commonly approach currency risk management.
The session will also introduce some of the tools and practices used in the market, while recognizing that the appropriate approach will depend on each company’s operations, financial objectives and risk tolerance.
