Multi-Entity FX Exposure Monitor Agent
A weekly group FX exposure report checked against hedging policy limits
What it does
A group with entities in several countries holds receivables, payables and cash in many currencies, and exposure is often known only at quarter end. Each week this agent collects open foreign currency balances from each entity, nets them by currency and compares net exposure with hedging policy limits. An intercompany loan creates exposure in both entities, so it nets it to avoid counting it twice. If an entity's data looks incomplete, such as a zero balance where last week was large, it asks the controller to confirm before using it. It recalculates the profit impact of a set rate move. The finance head reviews the report and decides on any hedge; the agent never trades.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
Read the steps as a list
- Weekly exposure run begins
- Collect foreign currency balances from each entity
- Is each entity's data complete and consistent with last week?If not: ask the entity controller to confirm or resend balances. Back to step 2.
- Net exposures by currency and eliminate intercompany items
- Calculate profit impact of the set rate moves
- Compare unhedged exposure with policy limits
- Finance head decides on any hedging actionThe agent waits here for your OK.
- Exposure report filed with decisions recorded
How it decides
It nets exposures by currency across entities and flags any currency where unhedged exposure exceeds the policy limit or the sensitivity exceeds the profit tolerance.
- Balances that change more than 50% week on week need confirmation
- Intercompany positions are netted at group level
- Any currency over the policy limit is listed first with suggested hedge size
