  • Support wherever realistic and possible the professional development of treasurers in the NTAs, such as by knowledge sharing, access to training and encouragement of treasury qualifications, career support, providing networking opportunities and celebrating professional achievements;
  • Advocate and in general seek to influence regulatory and other initiatives within the European Union and internationally, wherever these initiatives impact how treasurers can operate to reduce financial risks, add value or address their responsibilities.

The EACT’s objectives include:

  • Develop and strengthen relationships with European bodies;
  • Develop and strengthen relationships with other International bodies impacting treasury and finance;
  • Share views and undertake joint action in response to issues in treasury and corporate finance as well as in relationships with financial partners;
