Designed in an Java environment , ART includes general ledger entries management for Treasury operations as well as workflow management , managing of securities and cash management resources.

THE ART Of RISK AND TREASURY

Within Large and successful Organizations, there is a Revenue Centre. None other than the Corporate Treasury Department, it generally manages corporate finances, and ensures judicious use of surpluses in Investment/ deposits and Money Market operations and also raises cst effective finance for the Organization’s short term and long term operations. Apart from these functions, the Treasury Department is also responsible for carrying out the Board’s directive in organizational policies associated with the financial exposure of an organization, while transacting any third party financial arrangements. Adherence to these policies needs to be monitored to avoid preventable financial exposure / risk.

In Organizations where no Treasury solutions are in place, it is quite possible that when the Treasury Manager or a Dealer directly deals with counter parties, for making financial arrangement, (which may be in the form of an investment / deposit / loan etc) there is a possibility of human error and possible deviation or even deliberate sidestepping (without approvals) of the Treasury policy, exposing the organization to large exposures that may lead to embarrassing losses. This also can harm the reputation and image of a Corporation. In order to avoid such situations, Arowana Consulting Limited, joined hands with certain leading Corporate Organizations and Treasury Domain experts to develop a simple product called Arowana Risk and Treasury Solution (ART) which is suitable for any Corporate Organization, involved with day to day Market operations in the Money Markets and Currency Markets. ART interfaces with ERP solutions, Business Intelligence and Dashboard programmes, which means that the day to day operations of your Treasury desk is transparent and can be monitored and set to raise appropriate alerts.

Arowana’s Enterprise Risk Management System

Arowana's Risk Management services help organizations move risk management as a function which is a strategic and continuous endeavour that covers ground across enterprise functions and help in operational decision making.

Enterprise Risk Management is a strategic, tactical and operational instrument to enhance and protect shareholder value while fulfilling regulatory obligations.

Enterprise Risk Management is a process, or framework, an organization can implement to come to a reasonable certainty that it’s strategic and derived objectives are achieved. Arowana’s Enterprise Risk Management enables an organization to change from managing risks in silos to another model where it is strategic in overall scope, viewing controls and risk initiatives in a coherent framework, thereby enhancing decision making and analysis to support growth.

Since Risk Management tends to be pre-emptive, Business Continuity Management (BCM) was invented to deal with the consequences of realized residual risks. The necessity to have BCM in place arises because even very unlikely events will occur if given enough time. Risk Management and BCM are often mistakenly seen as rivals or overlapping practices. In fact these processes are so tightly tied together that such separation seems artificial. For example, the risk management process creates important inputs for the BCM (assets, impact assessments, etc). Risk Management also proposes applicable controls for the observed risks. Therefore, risk management covers several areas that are vital for the BCM process. However, the BCM process goes beyond risk management's preemptive approach and moves on from the assumption that the disaster will realize at some point.
