BENEFITS OF EARNING
THE CTP CREDENTIAL
CAREER FLEXIBILITY
The CTP credential is the standard for treasury. If you are looking to stand out and
make a move in your career, the CTP can help you do just that.
COMPETENCY VALIDATION
CTPs demonstrate a mastery of knowledge and skills required to effectively execute
critical functions related to corporate liquidity, capital and risk management. And
because CTPs need to earn continuing education credits to maintain the credential,
they are constantly learning new practices and standards.
STANDARDS OF ETHICAL CONDUCT
CTPs have an obligation to their employers, co-workers, customers, shareholders,
the profession and themselves to maintain the highest standards of conduct and
to encourage their peers to do likewise. CTP holders must agree to abide by these
ethical standards.
EMPLOYERS WANT CTPs
More than 80% of Fortune 500 companies employ CTPs.
BUILD A PROFESSIONAL NETWORK
CTPs can connect through AFP. Maintain your AFP membership and be part of
a global network via the virtual AFP Collaborate group, or attend the largest
conference for treasury and finance professionals each year.
