Hedgebook in Australia: FX and Interest Rate Risk with Valuations
Why Aussie corporates, auditors, banks and brokers use Hedgebook.
In Australia, Hedgebook brings corporate treasurers, banks, broker FX sales teams, and audit firms onto a common, cloud-delivered TRMS (Treasury Risk Management System) for market risk and valuations.
Instead of relying on sprawling spreadsheets and scattered bank reports, teams can capture FX forwards, options and interest rate swaps in one place – seeing exposures, hedges and valuations in a consistent view.

Australian Regulations / Market Context
Australian companies, councils and financial institutions face a demanding year-end environment for financial instruments. This includes requirements around fair value, CVA/DVA, sensitivity analysis and hedge effectiveness – sitting alongside broader IFRS and local standards.
Hedgebook’s content and tools directly address this landscape, with practical guidance on IFRS 13, AASB 13, IFRS 7 and hedge accounting, plus TRMS software that turns those expectations into repeatable processes.
The Valuations Tool supports independent fair value calculations, CVA/DVA adjustments and sensitivity analysis for FX and interest rate portfolios, including Australian dollar interest rate swaps.
Australian audit firms use Hedgebook audit functionality to validate client valuations efficiently.
Corporates use the same outputs in their notes to the financial statements.
It enables them to assist clients in moving away from bank-only valuations and
home-grown spreadsheets towards a more robust, system-based approach.
This includes:
- Year-end financial instrument checklists are written specifically for ANZ organisations using FX forwards, options and interest rate swaps.
- Hedgebook enables practical CVA/DVA calculations and commentary that reflect movements in Australian bank and corporate credit spreads.
- IFRS 7 reporting is supported by built-in sensitivity analysis for FX and interest rate positions, including AUD swap portfolios.
- Independent valuations and reporting help both corporates and auditors move
away from sole reliance on bank confirmations. - Hedgebook’s cloud delivery lets Australian teams, advisors and auditors access the same data from anywhere, improving collaboration on audit and treasury decisions.
What some of our Australian customers have to say
Rebecca Parsons, Accounts and Admin Manager, Frontier International
“The massive spreadsheet we were using literally had years of data in it… Hedgebook addressed all of this - and more.”
Siva Sivanantham, Grant Thornton Australia
“Understanding financial instruments can be a challenge in practice but Hedgebook Audit is simple to use and very intuitive and has helped to take away some of that mystique around how these instruments work.”
FAQs for Australian teams
Hedgebook’s FX Exposure Tool combines foreign currency cashflow forecasts with existing hedges to give Australian importers and exporters a clear picture of their positions. Treasury teams can model “what if” rate moves between Australian dollar and key trading currencies, see how exposures sit against policy, and share simple visuals with boards and lenders. This replaces complex spreadsheets with a single view that supports better hedging decisions.
