SUMMARY:ACTSA Webinar: Changing the Commercial Paper Landscape
DESCRIPTION:Please join ACTSA and Casper van Heerden\, Partner\, Head of Debt Capital Markets at Bowmans for a webinar on the recently published proposed amendments to the Commercial Paper Exemption Notice of 1994 (Notice). The Notice regulates the way in which corporates can issue commercial paper and therefore raise funding from institutional investors. \nHowever\, the proposed amendments will significantly change the status quo. For example\, one proposed change is that the term of all commercial paper be limited to 364 days. Ultimately these changes require careful consideration and thought by any companies or entities issuing notes.

SUMMARY:ACTSA Webinar: The Swift attestation process deadline is looming - What is your panacea to cyberattacks?
DESCRIPTION:Presented by: Olivier Dazard\, Head of Control Frameworks\, Programme Strategy & Engagement\, Swift\nJulien Labruyere; Lead Security Engineer\, Swift\nMonique Anthony\, Associate Director\, BDO South Africa\nKevin Moodley\, Partner\, Financial Services Technology\, BDO South Africa &\nThe financial industry faces persistent risk of cyber threats but is your compliance with Customer Security Programme (CSP) up to date? It is vital for any organisation that their defence against cyberattacks are up to date and effective\, to protect the integrity of the wider financial network. Swift has established its Customer Security Programme with the aim to support the Swift community to combat these threats. \nThe CSP offers a set of mandatory security controls built on existing guidance and establishes a security baseline for the entire user community. To support the adoption of the security controls\, Swift has developed a process that will allow the community to attest on an annual basis the adequate level of cybersecurity maturity contributing towards reducing potential new attacks\, in order to deal with new and upcoming threats and to stay up to date with the latest developments in cyber security. Since 2021\, this attestation must be supported by an independent assessment. \nThe deadline for this year’s attestation process is December 31st – have you completed your assessment? \nTo further unpack this topic the presenters will dicuss the following: \n\nUnderstand the risks of not actively managing cyber security associated with Swift and how this can potentially impact your business\nUnderstand the Swift Independent attestation process\nLeverage the Swift attestation process to enhance your cyber posture across the organisation\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:ACTSA Webinar: Risk Management in the new paradigm
DESCRIPTION:The Association of Corporate Treasurers of Southern Africa (ACTSA) in association with Rand Merchant Bank invites you and your colleagues to a webinar presentation:\nRisk Management in the new Paradigm. \n\nInterest Rates where are we heading?\nWhat are appropriate hedging strategies for corporates?\nJIBAR – where to from here?\n\nThe policy rate is expected to remain lower for longer post covid-19\, in line with global monetary policy. It is suggested that fiscal risks will limit the SARB’s ability to cut rates much further and\, importantly\, will also limit its ability to hike rates in the foreseeable future as the need to keep nominal bond yields as low as possible becomes paramount. With the expectation of a lower interest rates in the foreseeable future\, how should Corporate Treasuries think about interest rate risk and the development of a new key reference rate to replace JIBAR?

SUMMARY:ACTSA Webinar Hedge Accounting - Enhancing treasury's risk management toolbox
DESCRIPTION:The Association of Corporate Treasurers of Southern Africa (ACTSA) invites you and your colleagues to a Webinar where presenters Ashley Sadie and Cristina Dos Santos will unpack the necessary tools required to enhance your treasury’s risk management. \nIFRS 9 introduced a number of fundamental changes to the hedge accounting requirements – most notably the removal of some of the key prohibitions under IAS 39 and the broadening of the scope of qualifying hedging relationships. In the current global environment of increased volatility in foreign exchange rates\, interest rates and commodity prices\, the need to mitigate financial statement volatility has become more pronounced and with it\, a need to consider the potential benefits of the implementation of hedge accounting. \nThis session will explore: \n\nKey hedge accounting principles\, including the related implementation requirements;\nThe implications of changing hedging strategies from IAS 39 to IFRS 9;\nA selection of case studies illustrating the practical application of hedge accounting to common hedging strategies; and\nKey developments\, trends and topical matters relevant to hedge accounting (macro Hedge Accounting\, impact of regulatory reforms and more).

ACTSA is presenting an exciting webinar\, where Martin Thomas\, Head of Finance and Treasury Management\, KPMG Switzerland and Ulrich De Prins\, Head of Financial Risk Management\, KPMG South Africa\, will be discussing how to prepare for the recovery phase. \nEnsuring the health of employees and other stakeholders is top of mind for most executives as organisations get employees back on site.
