The Transparency Task Force or 'TTF' is the collaborative, campaigning community, dedicated to driving up the levels of transparency in the global financial services industry and to rid the financial industry of its short term profit mindset.[1]

The TTF was founded in 2015 by former financial industry insider turned campaigner Andy Agathangelou who claims to have witnessed numerous things that led him to believe the industry is "pre-disposed to misbehave if it's given the chance".[2]
