ACT is the only professional body amongst the 100 representatives from multinationals, small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and universities. Speaking at the start of a three day visit to India David Cameron has said the UK can forge one of "the great partnerships of the 21st century" with India whilst Lord Green, Trade and Investment Minister said
Government is clear that we must build deeper ties with India. This means supporting and encouraging a range of companies, both large and small, to do business there in the future.
India is seeking to develop its financial sector, strengthen the education system at all levels and increase the quality of training. By supporting and skilling up finance professionals with treasury education, the ACT can help businesses in India make better decisions in risk management, obtain efficient funding, manage cash optimally, and thus grow sustainably. ACT hopes that this trip will help us develop closer links with key institutions in the future and put treasury skills, education and qualifications uppermost in the minds of not just the larger firms in India, but major Indian banks, universities and fellow professional bodies. The ACT recently signed an MOU with Manipal Global Education (MAGE) and is excited at the prospect of working together to educate tomorrow’s treasury leaders.
