CFOs: What’s your plan to mitigate risks of bank failures?

To mitigate risks of bank failures, 28% of CFOs plan to diversify deposits across more banks, said Gartner recently when releasing results of a survey.

According to a poll of more than 250 CFOs and senior finance leaders on March 13, 2023, the top actions among CFOs following the recent high-profile bank-related failures include educating their boards on current risk exposures and assessing the risk and viability of current funding sources.

The data shows that CFOs are clearly concerned about second and third-order effects from this unfolding banking crisis, said Alexander Bant, chief of research, in the Gartner Finance practice. 

“While the immediate risks may have been stemmed by swift government action, CFOs are rightly assessing potential impacts to their own funding and that of their customers and suppliers,” he pointed out.

About one-third of CFOs are taking immediate action to reduce risk and ensure the viability of financing their organisations, the advisory firm said. 

CFOs have a short window to ensure security of their assets, payments, and funding in case things deteriorate further across the banking sector, Bant observed.

In addition, 85% of CFOs expressed concern about the impact of bank failures on their current operations, while 18% noted they had some level of exposure to one of the failing banks, Gartner noted. 

The top actions that CFOs are taking or planning to take to mitigate risks of bank failures include assessing their own funding sources for risk, educating the board on potential exposures and evaluating customer exposure and payment risks, survey results indicated.

Despite government assurances that uninsured deposits will remain accessible, there is a sense of uncertainty among some CFOs about how the crisis will evolve, and there is a new focus on concentration risk for CFOs and their boards.

“This crisis has brought concentration risk into the spotlight, with some companies having upwards of 25% of their cash reserves caught in a failed bank,” Bant said. 

The extent and nature of this crisis is still unclear and despite regulatory assurances, CFOs with concentrated positions at any one institution will prioritise diversifying their deposits as matter of urgency, he added.
