2014 Liquidity Risk Survey Results

The evolution of risk management practices has been impressive over the last quarter century. The industry has gone from risk reports printed on curly fax paper to integrated counter party risk management systems. As practices have evolved, the complexities of risk management have evolved as well. To capture these trends, Capital Advisors Group along with Strategic Treasurer released the findings of our 2014 Liquidity Risk survey earlier this month. This annual survey was designed to identify trends in liquidity risk management and capture shifts in risk management practices among treasury groups.

First, I would like to thank all those who participated in the survey as the information on how corporate treasurers are adapting to an evolving risk landscape provides valuable insight into current risk management practices. Secondly, the last five years have brought broad change to the credit and risk landscape as the credit crisis highlighted deficiencies both in risk management and regulatory oversight. From over reliance on ratings to assumptions of too big to fail, valuable lessons were learned. From our vantage point we see best practices evolving at different paces for different companies and see the adoption of technology and new ways of looking at old challenges as key to staying on the forefront of risk management. So for those that missed our webinar (click here to view the replay) discussing the results of the survey, this month’s research offers a synopsis of the survey take-aways as published for Treasury and Risk magazine’s on-line edition.
