Why Business Unit/Function?
Group Corporate Finance helps deliver our strategy and plans for growth. We shape and steer the direction of the business by managing our people, finances, shared services and buildings. We also oversee our legal, regulatory and compliance obligations too.
The primary function of Group Treasury is to manage the provision of liquidity to the BT Group and to manage the underlying financial exposures of the totality of BT’s global operations. We put in place structures and processes to ensure that the group’s cash can be accessed and used where it is needed, and are responsible for all decisions about how the group will raise debt, including quasi financing arrangements within the group’s contractual arrangements.
We also manage the financial risks that the group is exposed to, including changing interest rates and foreign currency exchange rate exposures.
Group Treasury Back Office takes full ownership and responsibility for Financial Instruments/Derivatives, Net debt, Finance expense and FX reporting and BT Group’s Annual report disclosure preparation on the forementioned areas. On top of IFRS accounting and reporting activities, project management, daily trade confirmation and Treasury/hedge accounting advisory also sits in Back Office.
