Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our training courses

Corporate FX exposure identification is addressed as a structured risk assessment discipline, covering transaction risk, economic risk, and the macroeconomic drivers that affect currency movements. FX risk assessment frameworks are examined alongside practical exposure aggregation methods, giving delegates the tools to identify, measure, and prioritise their organisation's currency exposures systematically. This is directly applicable for those responsible for building or improving a corporate FX risk management function from the ground up.  

The course covers forward contracts, swap strategies, currency options hedging frameworks, structured derivatives, and exotic hedges as the primary hedging instruments. Dynamic hedging and rolling hedge programmes are addressed alongside cost optimisation of hedging strategies, giving delegates a complete picture of how hedging programmes are designed, executed, and managed over time. This is directly applicable for those responsible for selecting and implementing hedging strategies that balance risk reduction with cost efficiency.  

Treasury management systems integration is addressed as part of the FX operations and controls content, covering how TMS platforms support FX trading workflows, exposure tracking, and hedge accounting processes. FX reporting and risk dashboards are also covered, addressing how treasury functions present FX risk positions, hedging programme effectiveness, and counterparty exposure to senior management and finance governance bodies. This is directly applicable for those involved in treasury technology decisions or FX reporting design.  

The course covers the full design of a corporate FX treasury function, including governance structure, treasury organisation and responsibilities, FX policies, limits and controls, and the operational workflows that support effective FX risk management. Delegates gain a working understanding of what a well-structured FX treasury function looks like across governance, process, and control dimensions, and what the common gaps are in organisations that have grown their treasury function reactively rather than by design.  

Hedge accounting and IFRS compliance are addressed within the FX operations and treasury systems content, covering the requirements for designating hedging relationships, what documentation and effectiveness testing IFRS demands, and how hedge accounting affects the way FX gains and losses flow through the financial statements. This is directly relevant for finance and treasury professionals who need to ensure their hedging programmes qualify for hedge accounting treatment and are reported correctly under IFRS.  

Counterparty risk and liquidity management are covered within the FX operations content, addressing how organisations assess and manage their exposure to FX counterparties, what credit support arrangements and ISDA documentation involve, and how liquidity considerations affect the structuring and execution of FX hedging programmes. Delegates gain a working understanding of how counterparty risk management is integrated into the broader FX governance and control framework rather than being treated as a standalone credit function.
