You will be in charge of managing cash flow through the submission of AFPs (Average Fund Position). It's essential to submit these AFPs on time. To assess their sufficiency, we will compare the company's theoretically modelled AFP against the actual submitted figures. This comparison is likely to show some discrepancies.
