However, it is facing increasing operational risks with the establishment of overseas subsidiaries and the increase of overseas sales.

The study is launched from analyzing the types of operational risk, next evaluating the risk exposure, and studying the selection of hedging tools and the decision of hedging ratio. This research concludes that the transaction exposure, the risk of account receivable and account payable, resulting from foreign exchange exposure is measurable because the trading amount is affirmed and it can be hedged through currency market, forward market, and option market. In the meantime, its counterparty is willing to take the risk. There are many existed derivatives in hedging credit risk, but it is difficult to find the counterparties and the further negotiation with the counterparties is absolutely necessary and the cost may be high. However, the establishment of internal controlling and auditing system can minimize the risk exposure through selecting the customers with good credit.
The thesis is to study the operating exposure in an overseas subsidiary and analyze the types of risk exposure and the application of hedging tools. The author expects that this research can be referenced to the companies pursuing internalization development.
