Financial risks present increasing challenges for corporate treasurers, with 58.8% of the treasurers who responded to a recent survey by consultancy TreaSolution saying financial risk management has become more difficult over the last year, up from the 44.9% who said that in 2011.

“If you’re an international company active in Europe, obviously the risk in Europe is something you need to take into consideration,” Carmody says. “Regulation-wise, that’s going to be a concern, and the ambiguity that’s associated with that will be a concern. It’s just the overall environment for financial risk management becoming more difficult for practitioners.”
