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