Integrated Financial Risk Management

Businesses today are operating in a highly-volatile business environment where both internal and external risks and uncertainties have an impact on a company's financial risk management. Undoubtedly, increased complexity and volatility have also paved the way to greater risks. Types of risks faced by corporations and financial institutions, today, are far more complex and interrelated than previously. It is therefore a must for companies to set strategies along with effective tools and mechanisms to reduce those risks. 'Doing Nothing - Not to Manage Risk' is no an option for today's business, as the high level of risk which this invites, may lead to business disaster. Crucially, financial risk management has become a critical issue for today's organizations.

In order to stay competitive and survive in the market, financial practitioners need to be well-equipped with effective techniques and stay current with new financial instruments that successfully facilitate the management of financial exposures. Significantly, the ability to identify and select appropriate hedging tools is essential in order to prevent unexpected losses and also to improve overall business performance.

For these reasons, Asia Business Forum proudly presents a two-day information packed conference on "INTEGRATED FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT: Repositioning Your Financial Risk Strategies to Cope with Today's Constantly Volatile Economy." This conference will demonstrate a series of financial risk management and control practices, as well as case studies to provide you with practical insights into dealing with the issues that arise in corporate financial risk management. Holistic and integrated viewpoints in the area of financial risk management, as well as a range of valuable tools to help protect assets from possible disasters, or down-times, and ways to improve the company' s business performance will also be discussed. Key topics include a framework of various types of risk that a company may face, hedging techniques for managing exposures in FX, interest rate, credit and liquidity risks. Particularly useful in today's economic uncertainty, this conference will help financial risk strategies anticipate and head off financial rough spots & crises.
