Treasury management
Risk management tells you what to do. The back office makes sure it actually happens — correctly, on time, and on the record. Many teams still run that layer on spreadsheets and inboxes, where there's no real segregation of duties, no audit trail, and a single keystroke can cost millions. Forge aHedge runs your derivatives and physical hedges from deal capture through to settlement on controls built for treasury, so procurement, treasury, finance and your auditors all work from one trusted record.

Is Forge aHedge a treasury management system (TMS)?
No. Forge aHedge is a specialist platform for commodity and FX hedging that complements your TMS or CTRM rather than replacing it. It adds the exposure analytics, controls and back-office depth that general-purpose treasury systems handle poorly, and integrates with your existing stack via API.
How does Forge aHedge enforce segregation of duties?
Roles for dealing, confirmation, settlement, accounting and reporting are separated and enforced in the system through role-based access and flexible maker-checker, four-eyes approval workflows. Sensitive actions require a second authoriser, so no single user can originate and complete a transaction unchecked.
Can it generate settlements automatically?
Yes. The platform automatically generates settlement and cashflow schedules across forwards, futures, swaps and options, calendars maturity, fixing, and premium events, and prepares net settlements.
What audit trails does Forge aHedge provide?
Every action is captured in an immutable audit trail — who did what, when and from where — with full before-and-after change history on positions, rates and common data. Reports are available on demand for auditors and boards.
Why use a dedicated system instead of spreadsheets?
Spreadsheets have no enforced controls, no segregation of duties and no reliable audit trail, which creates operational, fraud and key-person risk. A purpose-built system enforces your policy automatically, records every action, and removes the manual rekeying where errors and losses occur.
Who in the organisation uses it?
Treasury, procurement, finance and back-office teams work in one platform, each with role-appropriate access and views. Dealers capture and analyse, approvers authorise within mandate, settlement and accounting teams process and reconcile, and management gets read-only reporting.
