To become an FCT, one must undergo rigorous quests filled with perilous exams, accrue years of strategic wizardry, and finally be knighted by the [Association of Corporate Treasurers (ACT)]. Itโs akin to being sorted into a Hogwarts house but with balance sheets and financial instruments instead of wands!
