CAPTIvE CLIENT

By sending hard currency

directly to the beneficiary

bank for conversion locally,

an organization potentially

opens itself up to uncontrolled

loss and relies on the local

bank as its sole rate source.

In many cases, the bank

then converts the funds at

the rate of the day, which is

usually much less favorable

than what can be attained by

soliciting competitive bids.

In fact, it is not uncommon

for the difference to be as

much as five percent and in

some cases even more. In

addition, there are added

fees associated with sending

hard currency to be converted

locally. Consequently, it is

more advantageous to fund

in local currency, thereby

ensuring access to competitive

rates and maximum levels of

funding for field projects.

COmPLIANCE RISK

Global compliance standards

have been raised significantly

in recent years. With the

introduction of new laws and

regulations in many countries

worldwide, organizations must

be aware of and adherent to

current regulations regarding

international currency

transfers. By actively

monitoring the currency

exchange process from its

head office, an organization

can ensure not only that

it is compliant but that

all financial dealings are

undertaken with approved

counterparties.

F INANCIAL CONTROLSThe financial markets and

banking systems in many

developing countries are

inherently volatile and can

be negatively impacted

by political instability,

corruption and perpetual

underdevelopment.

Therefore, maintaining

large sums of hard currency

in country leads to many

potential complications

including misappropriation

of funds, substantial country

and credit risk, and an

overall lack of accounting

transparency. By transacting

in the international market

for local currency, the funding

and accounting process

is made more secure and

accurate while reducing

the potential for corruption

and fraud. Additionally, any

excess funding can be held

in hard currency at the head

office level in order to avoid

unnecessary country risk and

local currency payments can

be executed on a “just-in-

time” basis.
