- Being Currency Aware
- March 13, 2015
It has become evident for every organization dealing across international markets to manage currency risk. Owing to the financial impact these international market dealings bring in, today’s CFOs are becoming “Currency Aware” or trying to become “Currency Aware”.
What does it mean to be Currency Aware?
Though self explanatory, being Currency Aware implies awareness about status of foreign currencies the organization is dealing in or intends to deal in the future. This awareness helps a CFO to assess the risk the organization is facing. A known risk is always better than an unknown one, thereby providing a CFO with an advantage to take necessary steps and set off the risk impact on organization’s net assets. The most common mistakes CFO’s do is to assess the risk, deploy methods to off-set the risk but they do not analyse whether the risk management techniques they employed are working as expected or not. So another important aspect of being “Currency Aware” is to analyze the post management impact. This becomes a hideous task if required to be done manually, but if you have a reliable software solution at work which manages the risks as required, and generates appropriate reports for post management analysis.
