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
  1. Identify the concept of multilateral netting for managing intercompany cash flows.
  2. Explore how global intercompany netting operations are centralized and cyclical.
  3. Discover how multilateral netting can reduce payment volume and save FX costs.
  4. 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.
