Mark-to-Market
Spending too much time doing it yourself, or too much money for an overpriced third -party solution? Let AtlasFX manage it most effectively.
Hedge Accounting
Some hedge accounting requirements have loosened up in the past few years. Make sure you have the right accounting solutions in place for your needs.
Consulting Expertise
For Treasury teams that have questions about complicated FX exposures, AtlasFX has the answers.
Mark-To-Market
As FX hedging programs get bigger over the years, calculating the mark-to-market on the Treasury team’s FX contracts each month often becomes a huge burden to manage internally. However, many third-party vendors overcharge for this service. Due to our comprehensive end-to-end approach to FX risk management, AtlasFX will already have the information required to perform the FX mark-to-market calculations. Therefore, adding this functionality to our configurable FX solution is straight-forward and most importantly makes it very cost and resource effective.
Hedge Accounting
Since the introduction of Accounting Standards Update [ASU] 2017-12 and International Financial Reporting Standards 9 [IFRS] a few years ago, Treasury teams have had the option of making their FX hedge accounting less rigid and burdensome. While some have taken advantage of this, others have stayed with the approaches that they had established before these rule changes, which includes overpaying hedge accounting vendors. With Treasury budgets under increased scrutiny, it is an ideal time for FX risk managers to re-evaluate their existing solution. Adding the hedge accounting functionality to the configurable AtlasFX risk management solution can save those precious budget dollars.

Consulting Expertise
While some FX exposures are straight-forward, many can be very complex. Is your Treasury team having trouble dealing with embedded derivatives in contracts or currency risk-sharing clauses?
- Having trouble finding forex exposures that can receive hedge accounting treatment due to functional currency limitations?
- Looking to establish a monthly netting process, in-house bank or rebilling center?
- Trying to understand what FX derivative best offsets a complex FX exposure?
With decades of corporate FX experience, the AtlasFX team of experts knows how to deal with these issues. Why overpay for outside consultants or 3 rd party vendors when this service can be included with AtlasFX?
