Why AMCT?

I knew that the AMCT was challenging and well respected within the treasury community and I decided to take it as it provided me with an opportunity to deepen my skill set in specific areas. After seeing my peers both within PwC and at my clients sit for the exams I was encouraged and motivated to do the same.

Experience of CertRM

Risk management is the corner stone of the corporate treasury practice at PwC. By taking the Certificate in Risk Management I feel that my approach and views towards my clients’ risks has changed. I now have a deeper understanding of treasury risks and I am confident that I possess the skills to effectively and efficiently guide and audit my clients.

I find myself asking more questions now than I did before the exam. The global economy is changing and risk management is now more important than ever before. The exam helped to broaden my view of potential risks and to think more abstractly about how risks arise and how they can be managed. These questions and discussions have helped to engage myself and my team more than before. I believe that this has lead to better client service and a higher quality of documentation.

Practical knowledge

The AMCT as a whole has refined and broadened my overall treasury knowledge but the greatest achievement is that it has increased my confidence. I am now more comfortable coaching my team through issues and also having complex discussions with my clients regarding their methodology and approach.
