In the current global marketplace, financial risk management has become a prioritized function for the treasury departments. As companies operate in an increasingly global environment, unlike the past, the risk-levels have widened, and robust risk management remains more or less a challenge for treasury professionals. Tumultuous economic conditions, fluctuating global currency exchange rates, unforeseen geopolitical developments, etc. lead to a considerable number of developments in the financial market continuously that reinforces the need for corporates to take on well-organized risk management strategies.
A PwC report points out that there is a true transition of the treasury function into the role of a strategic advisor to the broader organization, which now focuses on value-adding activities outside the traditional mandates of working capital management and M&A support.
By taking advantage of the right technological tools, companies can ensure a smooth flow of the treasury processes, leverage the power of analytics, support the target operating model, and initiate efficient risk mitigation strategies.
VisionTree deploys SAP S/4HANA for Finance to address the changing priorities of treasury managers in terms of financial risk management. The common pain points of businesses in risk management include:
- Difficulty of centrally managing exposure
- Mitigate risk with forecasting and controlling FX
