As in previous years, DACT members can submit a project for the prestigious DACT Treasury Award 2024.
The DACT Treasury Award aims to promote the Treasury profession and professional by putting the spotlight on remarkable Treasury projects and transactions. There are so many great Treasury stories and a multitude of best practices, new treasury applications or specific treasury innovations that we can be proud of but that often remain well hidden. With the award, DACT hopes to inspire fellow Treasurers and future Treasury talent. Of course, it is always good to put our members and their teams in the limelight.
Criteria
We score submitted projects/transactions along the following criteria and weights:
| Innovation | Do new things or do existing things differently (25%) |
| Reach | The implemented solution is scalable (15%) |
| Environment, Social, Governance | Contribute to making the world a better place (10%) |
| Excellence | Aim for perfection (25%) |
