Agenda

DAY 1

Module 1: Trade Finance: risks, structures, bank relationships, facilities

– This module is designed to overview fundamentals. Some questions that we are looking into:
– Risks in trade
– Understanding working capital
– Bank relationship and bank facilities
– Structures to review: bank guarantees and their types (advance payment guarantee, performance bond, payment guarantee, money-retention guarantee, warranty guarantee); letter of credit; stand-by letter of credit; payment undertaking guarantee; parent company guarantee; documentary collection.
– Advising, confirming and nominated banks and their role
– What is necessary to take into account when structuring credit support

There is a live Q&A session, and if you fancy incorporating your own case/review a specific structure anonymously, please bring it as a case study to IBH before the session.

Module 2: Credit and Political Risks Insurance

They say that not 100% claims under CPRI policies are compliant. It means that a company cannot get an expected payout. Moreover, the terms and conditions in some policies are not 100% intuitive even for an experienced financier. Just a couple of words may change an expected payout by at least 1/3.

There are also new trends affecting underwriting the risks in the extractive industries, e.g. ESG. How well credit is interlinked with ESG in the modern world?

Q&A session scheduled at the end of the webinar allowing you to ask any questions you may want to bring to the webinar.

– Brief markets overview
– Participants and their roles
– Risks to cover (e.g., MtM risk)
– Credit and ESG
– Policy structure vs Internal procedures vs Commercial contracts.
– Case study: Indemnities and Deductibles – Let’s calculate!
– Q&A

DAY 2

Module 3: Trade Finance. Independent Undertakings. Case studies. Advanced

With fundamentals reviewed in DAY 1 this module is devoted to as many cases regarding LC, stand-by LC, bank guarantee and combating fraud in trade finance as we could fit within 2 hours.

Some questions that we are looking into:

– Does your bank distinguish between performance and financial guarantees?
– Why is it important to know?
– Documents countersigned by Applicant: is it ok?
– Issuing bank rejecting pay out due to potential fraud
– Are you sure that all your guarantees are workable instruments? Is it obvious? Bad wordings are there!
– Claiming process in case of a non-performance of your counterparty
– Credit tolerance and fluctuation
– Colour of the documents that you present
– Are there FM clauses in LCs?

And this is not an exhaustive list!

There is a live Q&A session, and if you fancy incorporating your own case anonymously, bring it as a case study to IBH before the session.

Module 4: Review of different structures that a trading company needs to know

Trading case study: the participants are asked to structure a deal
Receivables trade finance
Supply chain trade finance
Self-funded trading desks
Blockchain: where we are on this road?

“I had a wonderful experience at the “Trade Finance in Energy Markets” course. I learned so much, and was so impressed by the expertise — it was a special opportunity to learn from such an experienced lecturer. This was an abso- lutely excellent course, a great balance between theory and practice. Inspiring teaching. The level of the presentation and organisation during the course was very good. I would highly recommend the course for my colleagues“
