Our purpose, vision and mission.

The Association of Corporate Treasurers is the professional body for treasurers and related roles in the UK and internationally. We were one of the first professional bodies in treasury, established in the 1970s, and we are the only treasury association to hold a Royal Charter.

Purpose

Our purpose is to set standards and qualifications in treasury, support and develop treasurers throughout their careers, and ensure the voice of the real economy is heard by regulators, policymakers and employers. 

Vision

Our vision is that treasury management is understood and respected as a strategic function balancing financial risks and opportunities throughout the corporate and financial world, supported by relevant education & qualifications and high professional standards set by the ACT and its membership.

Mission

Our mission is:

• to educate treasurers through our competency framework, training and qualifications, and continuous professional development & events
• to support members by providing networks, content and insights into best practice and emerging trends, and by encouraging participation and volunteering in the work of the association from members in every career stage and generation
• to influence policy and regulation positively and reflect the voice and needs of the corporate world and the real economy.
