The Deals of the Year Awards recognise the most impressive work of corporate treasury teams over the past year - the funding secured, risks managed and challenges solved that made a real difference to their organisations. Run by treasurers for treasurers, the awards are judged on the merit and ingenuity of the work rather than the size of the deal. Categories span the full breadth of treasury - recognising both standout deals as well as the teams and individuals behind them. Running for over 25 years, they're one of the most established and respected awards in the profession - a mark of real distinction for those recognised, and a chance for the whole community - from rising talent to seasoned professionals - to see excellence in treasury celebrated. Nominations are free to enter across all categories
The Awards will be presented on 10 March 2027 at One Great George Street, London.
The Deals of the Year Awards are run by treasurers for treasurers. As such, we sometimes have judges whose organisations have entries in the awards. Integrity in the judging process is paramount for the ACT, and to avoid any conflict of interest, any judge with a potential conflict abstains from the process in the relevant categories.
The Deals of the Year Awards are among the most respected awards in treasury. Entering is your opportunity to:
showcase the impact of your treasury team
gain recognition from senior treasury professionals
celebrate your achievements with the wider treasury community
reward the people behind your success
