Treasurers at risk of unidentified FX exposures

The complexity of ERP and remote systems could leave treasurers exposed to FX risks. As automated systems look to fill this gap, there are still benefits from having a wide understanding of the whole business.

Corporate treasurers’ greatest concerns, particularly that of a lack of visibility around FX exposures and the reliability of forecasts, still haven’t been addressed since the Deloitte 2016 Global Foreign Exchange Survey identified the risks, as cited by 56% of respondents.

Manual exposure identification and capture processes were notable worries, too, for 48% of the treasurers surveyed.

However, the market is now pushing towards further automation of the FX process to resolve the issues.
