Goals / Remit
The EACT aims to support the finance and treasury profession across Europe. We do this by developing relations with European authorities and institutions, sharing knowledge between finance and treasury associations and bringing our professional experience and opinion to European level discussion of policy, regulation, law and best practice. Together we promote the value of finance and treasury skills through best practice and education. We encourage the evolution of the treasury role as a vital part of strategic financial management.
EACT includes 21 associations of 20 countries of Europe representing about 6,500 companies/groups and 13,000 corporate treasurers and finance professionals.

Contact with EU Institutions: we commit significant time
and resources to improved and regular contacts with the key European institutions and supervisory bodies such as the European Commission, the European Parliament, the European Central Bank, ESMA and the European Payments Council.
EU post-crisis regulatory agenda: the EACT has played and continues to play a leading role as a voice of the real economy in responding to the impact of proposed fi nancial regulation, in the aftermath of the G20 commitment to reform the financial sector. From the launch in 2009 of proposals for the regulation of OTC derivatives we have acted as a catalyst for the views of
the corporate sector in Europe. Our objective is to ensure that through formal response to consultations and proposals, as well as informal contact with all relevant EU institutions, proper account is taken of the likely real economy impact of regulation of the financial sector.
Implementation of SEPA: we have contributed both at
European level – participating in stakeholders’ meetings, SEPA progress reviews, consultations and expert groups of the EC, European Parliament, ECB and EPC, in working groups with the EPC for Direct Debits and Remittance Information – and at national level, with many associations that are members of the EACT involved in their national SEPA Migration Committees. A particular focus continues to be on the ability of users as SEPA
stakeholders to improve the governance of the implementation programme. The Chairman of the EACT is a member of the Euro Retail Payments Board (established by the European Central Bank and the European Commission), representing both the EACT and Business Europe.Address

Representatives of the 21 member associations form the EACT’s Board of Directors, with five of the directors providing leadership as the EACT’s Officers. The EACT Board meets twice a year and between these meetings the Officers and others address issues as they arise.
We seek to identify on a timely basis topics on which the EACT should work and contribute to European level debate. Where additional resource can be used to bring specialist expertise we identify that from within or outside the EACT’s members.- Meetings
