What is the
CPFO Certification Program?
The Certified
Public Finance Officers Program (Certification
Program) of the Government Finance Officers
Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA)
is a broad educational self-study program designed
to verify knowledge in the disciplines of
government finance. The Certification Program is
governed by the Council on Certification.
Technical and administrative support for the
program is provided by Radford University's
Governmental and Nonprofit Assistance

examinations
covering the major disciplines of
public finance. A candidate has seven
years in which to successfully complete the
program. Once earned, the CPFO designation is
maintained by participating in 30 hours of
continuing professional education each
year.
