Become a CGFM Today!
Georgia Governor, Sonny Purdue, proclaimed March 2009 as
Certified Government Financial Manager month in Interested in the CGFM Certification? Q: What is the best way to study for the CGFM examinations? A: The best way to study depends on
your knowledge, experience, time and location constraints and individual
preferences. The Atlanta AGA chapter can assist you in obtaining study
guides to help prepare for the CGFM examinations. Go to AGA National’s CGFM Web
site at http://www.agacgfm.org/cgfm/cgfmdefault.aspx
for more detailed information about preparing for and taking the CGFM
exam. If you have any questions or need more information, you may
contact Barbara Woodling, Atlanta CGFM Committee Chair, at mailto:woodling@audits.ga.gov. Q: What book can I buy to study for the examinations? A: AGA has three study guides to help
you study for the three CGFM Examinations: Examination 1 - Governmental
Environment, Examination 2 - Governmental Accounting, Financial Reporting and
Budgeting and for Examination 3 - Governmental Financial Management and
Control. The Intensive Review Course - don't miss
this opportunity to take the CGFM exams Have
you applied for the CGFM Program, but are having difficulty committing time
to study and take the exams?
Would you like to save on exam fees? Then
consider AGA's Intensive Review Course! Already a staple at two of AGA's
conferences. While this "intense" experience is not for everybody,
participants were attracted to the idea of completing the CGFM process in a
short period of time, having a set deadline to take the examinations and
saving money (the cost of CGFM Examinations is included in the Intensive
Review Course fee and this fee is less than the cost of the three
examinations). Holding an
Intensive Review Course and CGFM Examinations in conjunction with AGA National
Leadership and Professional Development Conferences gives the candidates one
more way to reinforce the material and take the CGFM Examinations (candidates
can also take the exams at Prometric testing centers anytime). The
extra reinforcement of the material is exactly what some people wanted and needed. The Intensive Review Course is not a
substitute for the six days of regular instructor-led training courses. On
the contrary, this course is designed as a supplement to previous preparation
for the CGFM Examinations. In
fact, the majority of the participants have either attended the CGFM training
courses or purchased the CGFM study guides before participating in the
Intensive Review Course. CGFM
application form can be found on http://www.agacgfm.org/cgfm/cgfmdefault.aspx.
Please contact Barbara Woodling, Atlanta CGFM Committee Chair , at woodling@audits.ga.gov if you have any questions. Congratulations
to all CGFMs and best of luck to everyone who is studying for and taking the
CGFM exams!!! |
