Managing Partner, UnRisk

Cash Flow at Risk

The three questions a board asks

Trading-desk VaR asks how much could be lost on today's positions over a short horizon. Boards are asking how volatility hits the business over the months and years it takes to change course.

  1. 1

    How much of our performance is at risk?

    Not the loss on open positions, but how profitability and cash flow will evolve over the horizon the business plans against. The distribution, not a worst-case estimate.

  2. 2

    How do risks aggregate across the portfolio?

    Which factors contribute most, and where natural offsets already exist. Every material driver in one distribution, then decomposed.

  3. 3

    How does risk depend on the choices we make?

    How Cash Flow at Risk changes if an investment is delayed, hedging is restructured or the balance sheet is reshaped. A decision-support tool, not a monitoring report.

Why practitioners

Not the large-firm model

Who does the work

Typical:Senior people sell it, a leveraged team delivers it.

The practitioners you meet do the work. They have run treasury risk and hedge accounting inside corporates and banks.

Independence

Typical:If the firm audits you, independence rules can limit the design and valuation work it may take on.

We don't audit. We can design the hedge, run the accounting and value the book.

Advice and delivery

Typical:A recommendations report, then the hand-off back to your team.

We advise and we build, then run the reporting each period if you want us to.

Valuations

Typical:Often a separate team, with a separate engagement and fee.

Independent valuations and XVA in the same engagement, powered by UnRisk.

Speed

Typical:Large programmes with long mobilisation.

First results in weeks, inside your existing systems, with an automation plan for what follows.

Independence

We don't audit. We can design the hedge, run the accounting and value the book.

Specialised advisory

Where the standard close isn't enough.

Our team has participated in regulatory reform and transition adjustments for over a decade, and has worked on exotic topics across the corporate and banking industry.

Component hedging of commodities
Isolate the hedgeable risk within commodity input costs: protecting manufacturing margins, qualifying for hedge accounting, and keeping price swings out of P&L.
Dynamic hedging under IAS 39
Managing dynamic portfolios and macro-hedging strategies for banks while maintaining strict compliance with IAS 39 documentation requirements.
Transition to RMA
The IASB's Risk Mitigation Accounting proposals are designed to succeed IAS 39 macro hedging, so that accounting follows portfolio-level risk management. We guide banks through the shift.Read the RMA paper→
IFRS 16 leases
Lease valuation and accounting models for IFRS 16 compliance and balance sheet presentation.
PSD3, MiCA and FSMA
Digital asset safeguarding and stablecoin frameworks of best practice, for fintechs and the treasuries that work with them.
