This webinar explains how an Energy Trading & Risk Management (ETRM) system connects commercial intent to financial reality across the energy trade lifecycle.
We’ll walk through how trades move from capture, through scheduling and risk management, into settlement, invoicing, accounting integration, and compliance.
Participants will see that an ETRM is not just a trading tool — it is an operational, financial, and control backbone that ensures:
- Physical delivery obligations are met
- Financial results are accurate
- Risk is measurable and controllable
- Compliance and audit requirements are satisfied
- Cash is realized correctly and on time
The session emphasizes how front, middle, and back-office processes are tightly connected — and how the back office ultimately enforces economic reality.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- Define what an ETRM system is and what business problems it solves
- The full trade lifecycle — from execution to cash
- Understand how lifecycle processes form a loop, not a straight line
- The typical breakdown of job functions related to ETRM
Who will benefit from this webinar:
- New and future market participants who need to prepare for the forthcoming engagement in wholesale and bilateral electricity markets
- Current ETRM practitioners who are looking to understand not just what they do in the system — but what the system does for their entire organization
- IT teams supporting ETRM systems
- Compliance and internal audit teams
