Protiviti has a dedicated team of Energy Commodity Risk professionals with real-world trading, hedging, product movement, risk control, settlement and consulting experience necessary to solve the problems facing management in the fast-changing and dynamic times we live in today.
Energy commodity markets are among the most volatile markets in the world. Annualized volatility in some markets approached 70 percent over the past year. Crude oil prices alone fell more than $100 a barrel. Natural gas, coal and electricity experienced volatility levels well beyond normal market conditions.
Helping your organization adapt and manage the risks associated with volatile markets is the role of Protiviti’s Market and Commodity risk professionals. Protiviti helps ensure that management has the tools, methodologies, processes, systems and controls necessary to properly evaluate and manage their trading, marketing and hedging activities and other businesses affected by market and commodity exposure.
The failure to understand one’s risk profile and true exposure from a profitability, operational and cash flow perspective can lead to significant losses and ultimately, financial collapse. In light of the recent upheavals and losses in the market, many of our clients have been adopting a “back-to-basics” approach to their operations. Protiviti has worked closely with oil and gas producers, power generators, miners, refiners, wholesale energy traders and retail energy marketers. Our clients have ranged from the world’s largest energy traders to small privately held hedgers.
