- Finding the upside of corporate risk management is the theme of AFP's first Corporate Risk Forum this month in Lake Las Vegas. What this really means is using risk management as a tool to add value to the organization. This month's magazine also tackles issues such as risk in corporate cash portfolios, hedge effectiveness, risk-based approach to model development and managing FX settlement risk. Financial professionals also take the spotlight as AFP interviews Adrienne Urban, treasurer of Children's Place on the insurance challenges her company faced after Hurricane Katrina and 911. And AFP Board member Ira Birns, CFO of World Fuel Services, discusses how a treasurer can think like a CFO. Finally, University of Virginia CFO Yoke San Reynolds reveals the challenges she faces as her public institution becomes "private-like."
