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.
