Line 1: Line 1:
Treasury cost saving centres are a more risk-tolerant variant on a pure cost centre.  
Operational risk is the risk of adverse effects resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems and / or external events such as adverse changes to the economic environment.  


A cost saving centre is a treasury which - like a cost centre treasury - acts primarily as a service function, but which is allowed a degree of discretion about when to hedge, with a view to reducing net costs.
Investors in companies generally expect the Board to mitigate or minimise these risks, to ensure that they cause as little harm as possible to the organisation.
