Notes for editors
The Association of Corporate Treasurers (ACT) is the international body for finance professionals working in treasury, risk and corporate finance. Through the ACT we come together as practitioners, technical experts and educators in a range of disciplines that underpin the financial security and prosperity of an organisation.
The ACT defines and promotes best practice in treasury and makes representations to government, regulators and standard setters.
We are also the world’s leading examining body for treasury, providing benchmark qualifications and continuing development through training, conferences and publications – including The Treasurer magazine.
