Learn Where to Look for FX Risks

Have you wondered where to look for FX risks? Identifying foreign exchange risk exposures across the enterprise becomes much easier when you know where to look in the financial statements. Some exposures like booked receivables are highly visible, while other exposures such as forecasted revenues are not. To help understand the different FX risk types and identify their impact on the financial statements and cash flows, FX Initiative's "FX Risk Exposures" course is designed to assist global firms with identifying common foreign exchange risk exposures and assessing their firm’s overall foreign exchange risk profile.

The following introduction video to the "FX Risk Exposures" course addresses the four main learning objectives that are covered in detail throughout this highly informative hour long educational program. We'll define 6 key terms for assessing a firm’s foreign exchange risk profile, and identify the 3 different types of FX risk. Additionally, we'll explore the concept of Foreign Exchange Transaction Risk and recognize its impact on cash flows and the financial statements, as well as explore the concept of Foreign Exchange Translation Risk and discover how the accounting consolidation process applies to foreign subsidiaries.
