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.

Learn How To Simplify Foreign Subsidiary FX Strategies Foreign exchange (FX) translation risk applies to companies with foreign currency functional subsidiaries operating abroad. Unlike FX transaction risk, which is commonly hedged, FX translation risk tends to take a more strategic approach to currency risk management, and companies must decide if, when and how to hedge this type of foreign exchange risk. Translation exposure exists as a result of translating local currency functional financial statements (i.e. the Income Statement and Balance Sheet) into the reporting currency of the parent for consolidation purposes. This process creates foreign exchange translation risk in the form of net income (income statement) and net investment (balance sheet) exposures. The following 5 minute introduction video for FX Initiative’s “Hedging Foreign Subsidiaries” course outlines the two main learning objectives covered, which include: (1) to explore the concept of hedging net income generated at foreign subsidiaries, and recognize the accounting, forecasting, and cash flow challenges associated with hedging future earnings, and (2) to explore the concept of hedging net investments in foreign subsidiaries, and recognize how "elective" accounting treatment can mitigate earnings volatility and better align the financial reporting of a hedge.
