Synopsis

This  unit  analyses  the  impact  of  current  developments  in   the
Australian  foreign  exchange market on the operations  of  firms.  It
examines  the  decisions of firms (i) to engage in  specialised  trade
financing;  (ii);  to execute cross-border investments  and  (iii)  to
source  finance  internationally. As these  decisions  create  foreign
exchange  risk  for the firm, the unit assesses strategies  to  manage
these   risks  and  also  examines  the  legal,  tax  and   accounting
implications.
