Each arises differently and is managed differently.",{"question":133,"answer":134},"What is the difference between transaction and translation exposure?","Transaction exposure is about actual cash flows: a committed foreign-currency amount you will pay or receive, where the exchange rate determines how much home-currency cash you end up with. Translation exposure is about accounting: when you consolidate a foreign subsidiary, its balance sheet and results are translated into the reporting currency, and the rate affects the reported numbers — but often no cash actually moves. Transaction exposure hits cash; translation exposure hits the reported financials. Confusing them leads to hedging the wrong thing.",{"question":136,"answer":137},"Why does classifying FX exposure matter?","Because each type is measured and managed differently, and treating one as another wastes money or leaves real risk uncovered. Transaction exposure is a genuine cash risk that companies often hedge actively; translation exposure is an accounting effect that many choose not to hedge with cash instruments because doing so can create real cash risk to protect a non-cash number; economic exposure is strategic and usually managed operationally rather than with financial hedges. Identify which exposure you actually have before deciding how to handle it.",{"path":104,"title":105,"order":65,"faq":139},[140,143,146],{"question":141,"answer":142},"What is hedge accounting?","Hedge accounting is a special accounting treatment that aligns the timing of gains and losses on a hedging instrument with the gains and losses on the item it hedges, so the income statement reflects the economic reality that the two offset. It's optional and comes with strict documentation and effectiveness requirements. Its purpose is to prevent an economically sound hedge from creating large, artificial swings in reported profit that would arise if the hedge and the hedged item were accounted for on different timings.",{"question":144,"answer":145},"Why is hedge accounting needed?","Because without it, a hedging instrument (typically a derivative) is usually marked to market through profit and loss each period, while the item it hedges may not be recognized yet — creating a timing mismatch. The result is reported profit that swings around even though the company is economically hedged and protected. Hedge accounting corrects this by matching the timing, so the P&L shows the offset rather than misleading volatility. It's about faithful reporting of a hedge that already works economically.",{"question":147,"answer":148},"What are the types of hedge accounting?","There are three: a cash flow hedge, which hedges variability in future cash flows (such as a forecast foreign-currency sale or floating interest payments); a fair value hedge, which hedges changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (such as fixed-rate debt); and a net investment hedge, which hedges the currency exposure on a net investment in a foreign operation. Each has its own mechanics for where the offsetting gains and losses are recorded, but all serve the same goal of matching timing.",{"path":73,"title":74,"order":76,"faq":150},[151,154,157],{"question":152,"answer":153},"What is risk appetite in treasury?","Risk appetite is the deliberate statement of how much of each financial risk — foreign exchange, interest rate, counterparty, liquidity — a company is willing to bear in pursuit of its objectives. It's a choice, not an accident: management and the board decide how much uncertainty they'll accept rather than hedge away, recognising that removing all risk is both impossible and expensive. Appetite is set at board or treasury-committee level, and it's the anchor everything else in treasury risk management is measured against.",{"question":155,"answer":156},"What is the difference between risk appetite and risk limits?","Risk appetite is the intent — the high-level statement of how much financial risk the company is willing to bear. Risk limits are the concrete, measurable boundaries that operationalise that intent: hedge-ratio ranges, value-at-risk or cash-flow-at-risk caps, counterparty exposure limits, maturity limits, minimum liquidity buffers. Appetite says 'we'll tolerate this much'; limits are the numbers a treasurer actually checks a decision against. Appetite without limits is a slogan; limits without appetite are arbitrary. You need both, and the limits have to genuinely follow from the appetite.",{"question":158,"answer":159},"Who sets treasury risk appetite?","Risk appetite is owned at board or treasury-committee level, not by the treasury desk. It's a governance decision about how much financial uncertainty the business as a whole is prepared to carry, so it belongs with the people accountable for the business, informed by treasury's analysis. Treasury then operates within the limits that flow from that appetite, and escalates when a limit is breached. Keeping appetite-setting above the desk is what stops the people taking the risk from also deciding how much is acceptable.",{"path":121,"title":122,"order":124,"faq":161},[162,165,168],{"question":163,"answer":164},"What is treasury risk management?","Treasury risk management is the discipline of identifying, measuring, managing and monitoring the financial risks a company is exposed to — principally liquidity risk, market risk (foreign exchange and interest rate), and counterparty or credit risk. Its aim is not to eliminate risk, which is impossible and often undesirable, but to keep it within a deliberately chosen risk appetite, so that financial risk doesn't threaten the business or its plans. It's a core treasury function alongside cash and liquidity management.",{"question":166,"answer":167},"What are the main financial risks treasury manages?","The main ones are: liquidity risk (not having cash available when needed), foreign exchange risk (currency movements hurting cash flows or the balance sheet), interest rate risk (rate movements raising borrowing costs or cutting investment income), and counterparty or credit risk (a bank or trading partner failing to meet its obligations). Some treasuries also manage commodity price risk. Each is identified, measured and managed differently, but all follow the same framework.",{"question":169,"answer":170},"Is the goal of risk management to eliminate risk?","No. The goal is to keep risk within a chosen appetite, not to remove it. Eliminating risk is usually impossible and often not worthwhile — hedging has a cost, and over-hedging is itself a risk. A company decides how much of each risk it is willing to bear (its risk appetite), sets policy accordingly, and manages exposures to stay within those bounds.
