The IT2 TMS will develop the Group’s ability to operate an in house banking function, empowering it to make best use of available bank relationships and funding. A comprehensive risk management and hedging programme will furthermore be supported, providing the means for the Group to identify and manage sources of risk and counterparty exposures. Also of note is a sophisticated ground up cash forecasting capability, enabling the application of statistical modelling and hedging to cash and liquidity planning.
