Case Study: MSF Sugar achieves automated integrated commodity and FX risk reporting and reduced operational risk with GTreasury

MSF Sugar - Customer Case Study

MSF Sugar, an integrated grower, processor, marketer and exporter of raw sugar in Far North Queensland, faced the challenge of creating accurate, consolidated commodity and FX risk reporting across in excess of 30 corporate and grower pools. Reporting had been manually managed in spreadsheets by a single resource, creating high operational risk and limiting timely, informed decision‑making. MSF Sugar selected GTreasury’s integrated treasury and reporting solution to automate best‑practice risk analytics and reporting.

GTreasury implemented automated reporting, simulation‑based Cash Flow at Risk (CFaR) analysis, and a price‑sensitivity matrix that models USD sugar price scenarios through AUD/USD to produce key AUD/tonne metrics. The solution eliminated myriad spreadsheets, reduced operational risk, and delivered consolidated reports in about 10 minutes that are accessible to all users, improving visibility of sugar price and FX risk and enabling better commercial decisions. The implementation also earned MSF Sugar a Highly Commended award for Best Risk Management Solution at the Adam Smith Awards Asia.
