North Carolina Local Governmental Finance Officers Certification Program

Since 1985 the North Carolina Government Finance Officers Association and the North Carolina Association of County Finance Officers have offered a program of voluntary certification for local governmental finance officers. Its purposes are to: 

• provide greater service to the public and the management of local government,
• recognize achievement of an established level of competency and proficiency among finance officers,
• promote continuing professional development of finance officers, and
• enhance their professional image.

Those who meet the program’s standards of experience, education, and examination will become Certified Local Governmental Finance Officers.
