The ACT, the Chartered body for treasury, supports the development of professional standards and best practice both inside and outside of treasury. We do this through our competency framework, which defines the skills and competencies needed by treasury professionals to operate successfully in today’s challenging business climate. The competency framework forms the essential base for our professional qualifications. Awarded a Royal Charter in 2013, we are committed to continuing professional development (CPD) and to helping treasurers and those with treasury responsibilities be more effective in their jobs and perform the vital role they play in business today. ACT qualifications, training and in-company learning are all delivered through ACT Learning, the official study provider for the ACT.
