An open reporting and decision support tool
Designed for corporate treasurers and their teams responsible for managing cash and defending margins, DeftHedge also generates accounting entries. Simply match your hedging transactions to their underlying assets and our tool will generate the associated entries in accordance with your accounting procedures. Your foreign exchange impacts are calculated automatically and your IFRS reporting (with P&L and OCI impact, mark-to-market flow and sensitivity, IFRS entry) allows you to clearly identify the origin of your accounting foreign exchange gains and losses by tracing them back to their source in order to justify them precisely and to meet the expectations of the auditors in one click. In addition to interacting with your accounting department, DeftHedge also allows you to feed the cash flow forecast into your TMS and send the strategy and operations to be implemented to your financial partners. > Test the solution
Testimonials
Gilles Ton-That, Finance & Administration Manager at Moustache Bikes
“The onboarding phase offered to me allowed me to project myself very quickly into a serious collaboration with the DeftHedge team (particularly accessible and efficient). Due to the complexity of my trading portfolio and the nature of my exposure, I was a little apprehensive about migrating from Excel to DeftHedge, but it went smoothly. Today, I appreciate having all the elements of foreign exchange risk in the same digital tool!”
Grégoire Grelier, Treasurer at Serge Ferrari
“DeftHedge allows me to manage my foreign exchange risk more serenely and to rationalize my management. My two contacts helped me integrate the data, and I now have reporting and tables with the right quantitative elements for a clear view of the risk. The tool’s ability to simulate strategies and predict products is a precious help for my decision-making!
Carole Clos, Risk Manager at Lidéa
“We have been working with DeftHedge for 6 months. Our first expectation was to map our risks. Because of our lack of in-house expertise in this area and the high stakes involved in volatile currencies, DeftHedge’s expertise and support proved to be essential. The tool now provides a precise view of exposures and clarifies the reality of the risk in both summary and detail. It also helps us to check the proposed prices before dealing with the trading rooms. We will therefore be able to start our next exercise with up-to-date positions and hedge in a relevant manner!”
