224 Notes to the Financial Statements For The Financial Year Ended 31 December 2015 Felda Global Ventures Holdings Berhad Annual Integrated Report 2015 4 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT (CONTINUED) (a) Financial risk management policies (continued) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulties in meeting obligations due to shortage of funds. The Group maintains a sufficient level of cash and cash equivalents to meet the Group’s working capital requirements by closely monitoring its cash flows. Due to the nature of its business, the Group has adopted prudent liquidity risk management in maintaining and obtaining sufficient credit facilities from financial institutions. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and then aggregated by management. Management monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group's debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal statements of financial position ratio targets and, if applicable, external regulatory or legal requirements – for example, currency restrictions. As at 31 December 2015, the Group has undrawn committed borrowing facilities amounting to RM1.16 billion. Surplus cash is invested in profit bearing current accounts, time deposits, money market deposits and marketable securities, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the above-mentioned forecasts. The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining maturity periods at the reporting date to the contractual maturity dates.
