Other Information:

AFP is the global resource & advocate for the treasury and finance profession on many public policy and regulatory issues. The mission of the public policy and advocacy program is to ensure that the views of financial professionals are included in public debate on key policy issues facing the profession. Often, AFP provides the only corporate perspective on the many treasury and finance related issues being considered by the U.S. Congress, regulators, and/or standard setters. Research is a key part of our advocacy efforts; AFP's public policy team relies on the data gathered from AFP members to bolster our points to policy makers. AFP's public policy team is in regular communication with Congress, Federal Agencies and rule making organizations such as the U.S. Dept. of Treasury, the Federal Reserve Board, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Securities Exchange Commissions, FASB, and NACHA.
