Finance and treasury is something most accountants have limited training on. However, they are often called upon for advice in these areas, particularly to hedge various risks. Even if they work with experts, it is important to understand some of the complexities to be more effective in their role. Most accountants are familiar with the basics, such as simple options, but are not aware of the complex strategies that could be implemented. Performing the accounting effectively requires a good understanding of the business behind financial instruments.
