The diploma builds on the ACT Certificate in Treasury (CertT) and allows learners to hone their managerial skills and think at a strategic level . The AFP Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) designation is the benchmark of competency in finance and the leading professional credential in corporate treasury and cash management .
