CFOs are under increasing pressure to stay on top of emerging issues, and the Treasury and Commodity team is a leading provider of assurance and advisory services to companies facing challenges created by the fast pace of change and volatility in the world markets. Our team is recognized as one of the leading providers of corporate treasury services in the UK.

Treasury involves managing the financial risks of an organization (funding and liquidity, cash management, and market risk management e.g. FX) and covers the end-to-end process from cash to debt to eliminating volatility from the P&L. The primary purpose of Commodity Management is to manage risks generated through the management of supply and demand and to reduce them to an acceptable level. Volatility in price, regulatory requirements, political and economic context all have impacts on what we call 'Commodity Management'.
