Technical Committee

Mid 2015 the DACT established a committee concerned with relevant laws and regulations and professional subjects. The committee consists of at least five members from various disciplines who have ample experience in the treasury profession and do have theoretical knowledge (including fiscal/judicial). Currently, the committee is formed by Erwin Bastianen (chairman; NIKE), Patrick Kunz (Pecunia Treasury & Finance), André Wieringa (AP Group), Haseena Khodadin (EY), Bart Verweij (Mollie), Dagmara Kowalska (Unit4) and  Richard Blokland (NewCold).

Participation

Participation is in an individual capacity. The committee communicates primarily with the members via the DACT LinkedIn group and newsletters. Via this forum members are invited to initiate and respond to topics or start discussions. Should you actively wish to participate in subjects in the area of banking, tax & accounting or relevant laws and regulations, please contact the committee via vaktechniek@dact.nl.
