Supply chain Financial risk management
Is your supply chain impacted by fluctuations in commodity prices and foreign exchange rates? ► Do you have full visibility of the cost components
of your fixed priced supplier contracts? ► Can you reduce the costs associated with
procurement? ► Are your financial risks well controlled and mitigated
to support supply chain continuity?
EY market insights ► 54% of CFOs agree that lack of visibility across the
supply chain prevents them from having a holistic picture of costs.
► 41% of CFOs believe that financial risks are the biggest risks within the supply chain.
► 52% of supply chain managers believe that lack of visibility into secondary and tertiary suppliers are the biggest risk in the supply chain.
Survey of 423 CFOs and supply chain leaders
Partnering for performance, Part 1: the CFO and the supply chain, EY, October 2013.
Management of financial risks in supply chains is no longer simply about pushing risks out of the organization and moving them further up or down the supply chain. Today, it is necessary to take a more holistic and resilient approach, focused on transparency and efficiency. This means that this issue is a concern to treasury teams as well as procurement teams and chief financial officers (CFOs).

Supply chain Financial risk management
Understanding component costs in fixed-price contracts is crucial to improving financial performance in supply chains.
Engaging in fixed-price contracts has become standard practice, albeit a generally very expensive one, because such contracts shift all risks (including a number of financial risks) and contingencies onto the supplier. In addition, fixed-price contracts usually contain various cost components, including: ► Costs of commodity-price hedging ► Transportation costs ► Other insurable and non-insurable risks and, in many instances,
hidden cost components, e.g., system costs and staffing costs ► Supplier added value A transparent breakdown of these components, which would give companies the opportunity to challenge pricing, is not normally provided. The key is to focus on the value-add component (the homogenous element) of fixed prices. The preferred-supplier list should consist of organizations that are able to deliver their added value to the supply chain at the most competitive price and optimize the value (including reduced hedging costs) from the other cost components.

Reduce your hedging costs
The costs of hedging can be unnecessarily significant, especially in the current environment, where counterparty or credit risk is an important consideration in pricing deals. Substantial cost savings can be achieved by: ► Applying centralized risk management principles ► Using financial hedges as opposed to bilateral hedges with
suppliers ► Exploiting relatively stronger financial positions in trade
negotiations ► Achieving volume discounts ► Hedging net positions (after incorporating value-at-risk and risk
correlations) ► Using liquid or competitively priced products
A global electronics manufacturer achieved annual cost savings of US$20m (3% of their annual procurement spend) by managing commodity price risk with financial hedges as opposed to bilateral hedges.

Gaining confidence in supplier risk management strategies and policies and underlying hedge transactions
A global consumer products company restructured their supplier contracts to take on commodity risks with the view to monitor and manage them more appropriately internally.
Obtaining information on the risk management strategies and policies of suppliers and underlying hedges is essential to better ensure supply chain continuity. Understanding how your suppliers operate will give you more confidence in them and knowledge of their potential impact on your business. The information required to ensure financial risks are well controlled, managed and mitigated includes: ► Terms (including counterparties) of master hedging
agreements and the details of underlying hedging trades ► Incidental risks of financial hedges and how these are
proactively managed ► Governance, and control structures and frameworks
underpinning effective and efficient risk management ► Detailed risk management policies and processes applied,
including flexibility within these policies

What benefits can you expect?
Procurement cost reduction
Significantly reduce the costs of hedging financial risks within the supply chain using financial hedges as opposed to bilateral hedges with suppliers, leveraging stronger financial positions in financial hedges negotiating, achieving volume discounts, applying centralized risk management principles and policies, hedging net positions (after incorporating value-at-risk and correlations, and using liquid or competitively priced products).
Visibility Provide increased transparency and comparability of procurement cost components across homogenous suppliers, which will facilitate more added-value based competitive pricing discussions (i.e., effects of any price risk hedging, etc., are excluded).
Transparency
Improve the identification and understanding of financial risks within the extended supply chain, which facilitates and supports effective and consistent risk management across the group. This can help to provide comfort that the financial risks are well controlled, managed and mitigated to support supply chain continuity.
Overall Enhanced supply chain performance
