Credit riskLiquidity riskMarket risk
The Company's treasury function provides services to the business, co-ordinates access to domestic and internationalfinancial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal riskreports which analyse the exposure by degree and magnitude of risks. The treasury function reports periodically to theBoard of Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversightof the Company's risk management framework. The Board of Directors has established a risk management policy toidentify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risk andadherence to limits. Risk management systems are reviewed periodically to reflect changes in market conditions and theCompany's activities.
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails tomeet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company's trade receivables, treasury operations andGovernment receivables.
Trade and other receivables
The Company's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. Managementconsiders that the demographics of the Company's customer base, including the default risk of the industry and countryin which customers operate, has less of an influence on credit risk. The Company is not exposed to concentration of creditrisk to any one single customer since the products are sold to and services are provided to customers who are spread overa vast spectrum and hence, the concentration of risk with respect to trade receivables is low.
The credit worthiness of the customers are assessed through a strong credit risk assessment policy of the Company. TheCompany's domestic sales operates primarily on a cash and carry / advance model and do not carry significant credit risk.The Company's credit period on export sales varies on case to case basis based on market conditions and are normallybacked by a letter of credit to cover the risk.
Cash and cash equivalents and other investments
In the area of treasury operations, the Company is presently exposed to counter-party risks relating to liquid funds andshort term and medium term deposits placed with public / private sector banks. The credit risk is limited considering thatthe counterparties are banks with high credit ratings and repute.
Government receivables
The credit risk on receivables from government agencies / authorities is nil considering the sovereign nature of the receivables.Liquidity risk:
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financialliabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company's approach to managing liquidity isto ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under normal andstressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company's reputation. Typically theCompany ensures that it has sufficient cash on demand to meet expected operational expenses, servicing of financialobligations. In addition, the Company has concluded arrangements with well reputed banks, and has unused lines ofcredit that could be drawn upon, should there be a need.
