Importance of a tracking gains & losses in strategic foreign currency management
Tracking unrealized gains and losses helps treasury managers to identify potential risks associated with fluctuations in foreign currency rates.
This allows Finance, treasury or CFO offices to take proactive measures to mitigate currency losses or capitalize on opportunities. Furthermore businesses can finally make:
- informed decisions about future currency transactions,
- timing of hedging strategies,
- and having a clear picture of the company’s financial health, including potential impact on future income or expenses in financial management.
Top 3 Challenges in tracking unrealized gains and losses
1. Time constraints
Complex foreign currency management often delays the timely identification of risks and opportunities.
Keeping track of these transactions alongside daily tasks can overwhelm finance and treasury teams, making tracking and analysis time-consuming and challenging.
2. Growing international business
Growing cross-border operations increase currency exposure complexity.
As SMBs expand internationally, scaling technology to manage the rising volume of currency data becomes essential. Static spreadsheets often struggle to keep up with these evolving demands.
3. Currency risk management
A detailed view of currency exposure is essential for effective risk management.
Tracking unrealized gains and losses helps assess the best timing for hedging strategies, whether for single transactions or at an aggregated level.
