The Association of Corporate Treasurers (Singapore), or ACT(S) is a non-profit organization of individual memberships drawn from corporate treasuries and finance professionals involved in corporate treasury work. Members are typically in corporate organisations on the buy-side of the marketplace.
Established in 1991 as The Treasurers’ Club, the association has grown in numbers and spread. As Singapore has increasingly become a treasury hub, memberships now include treasury centre managers, regional corporate treasurers and other professionals whose treasury activities cover a wide geographical spread.
In recent years, ACT(S) began its branding to better engage other players in the industry and to collaborate with similar international organizations. ACT(S) has been actively establishing relationships with various institutions including educational, government and regulatory bodies.
The success of ACT(S) is attributed to members’ support in promoting the profession. ACT(S) has an elected Executive Committee to manage its operation and to embark on initiatives in furthering its aims.
