IFA Consulting’s financial risk management strategies are focused solely on the company’s "core business," closely linked to internal variables, the balance sheet, and corporate policies, highlighting a substantial difference compared to standardized advisory services from intermediaries, which are based on "forecasts" aimed at selling costly products and services.
Anticipating or predicting markets is not only systematically ineffective but often incompatible with the activities/objectives of non-financial companies, which are statutorily required to mitigate risks.
Companies need risk analyses and estimates based on the same probabilistic models that their counterparties already use, placing the company in full cognitive symmetry with the banking counterparty.
IFA stands out for its advanced expertise in derivative contracts and related issues, developed over more than 23 years of experience.(see curriculum).
IFA supports and assists companies and their internal specialists in the following areas:
Advisory on corporate treasury management, severance pay and supplementary employee benefits
Advisory on currency and interest rate hedging and commodity risks
Probabilistic analysis of market risks estimated through stochastic models
Valuations and testing for OIC32, IFRS/IAS, and EMIR compliance
Independent estimation of fair value and implicit costs on derivative and complex financial instruments
Preparation of financial risk policies and related annexes to the financial statements
Analysis of loan terms and conditions
Transfer pricing advisory
