Surging

witnessed since the 2008-09
global financial crisis,” ING

TALKING FX WITH THE CEO, CFO & BOARD
• Treasury teams need to improve the quality of communication regarding
foreign exchange risk between the treasurer, CFO and the board to get better
guidance on how to manage currency risk in alignment with the risk appetite
of the C-suite and the board.
• Questions board members struggle with:
• What is the firm’s risk from foreign exchange?
• What is the cost of managing the firm’s foreign exchange risk?
• Board members prefer the answer to those two questions to be from an
independent source.
• Boards don’t really understand the complexities for FX, but they do
understand the concept of an “efficient frontier”.

Kyriba FX CoRE™ ANALYSIS OVERVIEW
• Kyriba Foreign Exchange Cost and Risk Efficiency (CoRE) Analysis benchmarks your
current FX exposure, determines the potential impact to earnings and provides
recommendations to reduce risk and costs.
• Identification and quantification of existing balance sheet exposure and risk and
visibility to their source
• Dynamic analytical environment design to help reduce cost and improve the
efficiency of FX management processes
• Companies rely on the CoRE curve not only for what it depicts, but because the
underlying data has been subjected to rigorous analysis and validation to ensure its
completeness and accuracy

Kyriba FX CoRETM CURVE
• Kyriba FX CoRE™:
• Helps one understand and communicate the most efficient strategies to mitigate
currency exposure from the perspective of risk vs. cost of (or income from) hedging.
• Depicts the “risk” of the portfolio of currencies impacting the financial statements at
various levels of hedging cost (or income)
• The ‘y’ axis represents “risk” as measured in VaR (Value at Risk).
• The ‘x’ axis represents the cost of (or income from) hedging as measured by the interest
rate differential (IRD)*.
• The key is to have confidence in the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data.
Without this confidence, the CoRE curve is less meaningful.
* IRD ( Interest Rate Differential ) definition: The difference in interest rates between two currencies in a pair.
