Mission
ACTSA aims to provide both its members and potential members with ongoing networking opportunities, exposure to international best treasury practices and a forum for the discussion of industry-specific issues.
In the fast developing world of finance, the management of an organisation’s cash flows, investments, borrowings and financial exposures is no longer left to the accountant, who may not have the necessary understanding of the risks and required management skills.
Treasury is the responsibility of trained specialists whose expertise includes financial strategy formulation, a good knowledge of investments, the management of the treasury systems and banking relationships, and the management and understanding of markets, interest and liquidity risks.
Although ACTSA’s functions are concentrated in the following regions of South Africa, Gauteng, Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, membership is open across Southern Africa and with special permission even elsewhere in the world.
Goals
ACTSA aims to facilitate a dialogue between treasurers and those in allied financial sectors, opening valuable opportunities and introducing new approaches and better solutions.
Through focused, relevant programs and activities, ACTSA members will have the opportunity to share ideas on a wide spectrum of financial situations including negotiating for better terms; corporate investment opportunities to enhance income; benefits finance; risk management; insurance; large, medium and small company issues; international issues and many more.
ACTSA’s operations include collecting, publishing and disseminating material and information relevant to the management of treasury operations, conducting and sponsoring meetings and seminars, and promoting educational activities. In addition, maintain a professional association of individuals responsible for the management of corporate treasury.
