Looking to distinguish yourself among your collegues and further your knowledge of government?  Or maybe looking to further your knowledge for NYS promotional exams?  Consider earning the Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM) designation!  The CGFM is the first certification broad enough to cover the whole field of government financial management - federal, state and local. It deals not with testing a person in a specific area, but with measuring a wide range of knowledge and skills that a professional needs to succeed in the federal government financial environment, or to meet the unique challenges faced by state and local government financial managers.

The New York Capital Chapter is pleased to offer a course that will provide an excellent day of continuing professional education training, and will also prepare you to take the first part of AGA's Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM) exam.

 

This course covers the organization and structure of government, public accountability, ethics in government, the government financing process and other legal and environmental aspects of government.
