Managing FX and Compliance Risk with Kyriba Treasury Cloud

CFOs and treasurers face a double bind: currency volatility that can whiplash EPS and a rising bar for compliance-from IFRS 9 / ASC 815 hedge accounting to sanctions regimes and audit scrutiny. Point tools and spreadsheets aren’t enough.

Kyriba Treasury Cloud unifies FX exposure management, hedging, derivative & hedge accounting, and payments compliance on one platform-integrated to your ERPs and banks.

1) See risk early: exposure capture & analytics

Kyriba consolidates balance-sheet and cash-flow exposures from ERPs and spreadsheets into a single view, then quantifies risk with analytics (e.g., VaR, sensitivity). Treasurers identify net exposures, design hedges, and simulate impacts before trading.

2) Execute and account-without manual swivel

Trades (spot/forward/swaps/options) flow through to confirmations, settlements, valuations, and hedge accounting entries posted to your ERP. Kyriba supports IFRS 9 / ASC 815 documentation, effectiveness testing, and MTM-speeding close while staying audit-ready.

3) Real-time treasury via APIs

APIs with leading banks surface balances, reporting, and payment status instantly-supporting hedging and investment decisions on current cash, not yesterday’s. Joint innovations (e.g., Kyriba + J.P. Morgan) bring real-time connectivity and payment rails to the TMS.

4) Compliance and payments risk under control

The Payments Fraud Detection module applies AI to payment patterns, quarantines anomalies, validates bank accounts, and enforces sanctions screening (e.g., OFAC), all with KPI dashboards and resolution workflows. Compliance becomes proactive, not reactive.

5) Enterprise scale & credibility

Kyriba’s Liquidity Performance platform connects to thousands of banks and ERPs, supporting 3,000+ clients and $15T+ payments annually-with capabilities expanded through the FiREapps acquisition for deeper FX exposure analytics.

Real-world patterns we implement

• EPS protection program: Standardize exposure capture, automate hedge policy, and align accounting-reducing P&L noise and close effort.
• Sanctions-safe payments hub: Centralize payments with AI screening and account validation to reduce false positives and stop fraud.
• Real-time cash-to-hedge loop: API balances inform daily hedge top-ups or rollovers, improving effectiveness and working capital.

How ECS delivers
We run a 60–90-day sprint: baseline exposures → define policy & KPIs → automate trade & accounting flows → enable fraud/sanctions screening → connect APIs for real-time decisions. Then scale by entity/region.

Bottom line: When FX and compliance live in one platform, you protect EPS, accelerate close, and reduce operational risk-without adding headcount.
