CPE Webinar Invite: Cash Flow Hedging

Program Overview

FX Initiative cordially invites you to attend our webinar titled “Cash Flow Hedging” on Thursday, March 25th at 11AM Pacific / 2PM Eastern. Join us for a continuing professional education (CPE) program and earn CPE credit as we learn how to how to hedge and account for forecasted foreign exchange (FX) revenues and expenses. We will begin by defining the concept of a cash flow hedge, and how companies incorporate this type of hedge into a larger FX risk management program across the enterprise. We will then examine how FX revenues and expenses impact the financial statements with a focus on the limited visibility into a transaction’s FX gain or loss to date. From there, we will explore hedging FX revenues and expenses with forward contracts, and address the impact on cash flows as well as the options that are available to account for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Lastly, we will identify best practices for hedging forecasted FX transactions and emphasize how public and private companies prioritize their foreign exchange hedging objectives in order to achieve their desired risk management results.
