Webinar Series: Multilateral Netting Program Overview FX Initiative cordially invites you to attend our webinar titled “Multilateral Netting” on Thursday, December 10th, 2020 at 11AM Pacific / 2PM Eastern. Join us and learn the fundamentals of multilateral netting for intercompany cash flows. This Multilateral Netting webinar will help you learn the fundamentals of multilateral netting. Multilateral netting, also referred to as intercompany netting, is a process in which a group of cashflows between a defined set of entities are offset against each other such that just a single cashflow to or from each entity takes place to settle the net result of all cashflows. When a multinational company has divisions in a number of countries, direct billing in many currencies can lead to excessive foreign exchange (FX) trading, resulting in both buying and selling the same currencies many times over. This educational program will help participants learn the concept of multilateral netting for managing intercompany cash flows, how netting operations are centralized and cyclical, how netting can reduce payment volume and save FX costs, as well as several key treasury related benefits of deploying multilateral netting. Learning Objectives Identify the concept of multilateral netting for managing intercompany cash flows. Explore how global intercompany netting operations are centralized and cyclical. Discover how multilateral netting can reduce payment volume and save FX costs. Recognize several key treasury related benefits of deploying multilateral netting. Who Should Attend? New and seasoned finance, accounting, treasury, and related professionals (CPA, CIA, CRMA, CFE, etc.) interested in international business.

Webinar Series: Balance Sheet Hedging Program Overview FX Initiative cordially invites you to attend our webinar series. Join us and learn how to hedge FX receivables & payables and mitigate FX gains & losses. This Balance Sheet Hedging webinar will teach you how to hedge foreign exchange (FX) receivables and payables to mitigate FX gains and losses on the Income Statement. We will begin by defining the concept of a balance sheet hedge, and explore why is it often viewed as the foundation of many corporate FX risk management programs. We will break down the impact of how FX receivables and payables, which are known as underlying positions, produce FX gains and losses on the financial statements from mark-to-market accounting treatment. We will then explore how to offset those underlying FX gains and losses on the Income Statement by hedging with forward contracts to reduce periodic earnings volatility. Finally, we examine best practices for optimizing balance sheet hedges by considering details such as accounting booking rates, netting of exposures, and adjusting hedges as balances change from cash inflows and outflows. Learning Objectives Discover the concept of a foreign exchange (FX) balance sheet hedge program. Recognize how FX receivables and payables impact the financial statements. Explore how forward contracts can be used to mitigate FX gains and losses. Identify best practices for optimizing and adjusting balance sheet hedges. Who Should Attend? New and seasoned finance, accounting, treasury, and related professionals (CPA, CIA, CRMA, CFE, etc.) interested in international business.
