CERTIFIED GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL MANAGER
Give Yourself an Edge Over Your
Competitors
Recent research has shown that employers attribute their recruiting difficulties to a shortage of qualified professionals. Give yourself a competitive advantage by showing your commitment to lifelong learning. You need a credential that shows you are qualified and have the skills to lead. The Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM) does this like no other credential.
The CGFM is the first certification broad enough to cover the whole field of government financial management—federal, state and local. It measures 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 names of Certified Government Financial Managers (CGFMs) in active status can be viewed by following the link below:

To recognize the CGFM Program and its accomplishments, AGA has declared March of each year going forward as "CGFM Month" - read the official AGA Proclamation.
Proclaiming March as CGFM Month does not only recognize the over 14,000 Certified Government Financial Managers and AGA members nationwide but inspire them to continue to demonstrate professionalism and competency to promote government accountability. California has around 1,000 AGA members, including members of the Silicon Valley Chapter. AGA has long been advocate in promoting government accountability and AGA's CGFM Certification serves that purpose.
Cities in the Silicon Valley such as City of San Jose, City of Milpitas and City of Sunnyvale proclaimed March 2010 as CGFM Month. Other States, Counties and Cities all around the nation also issued CGFM Proclamation. Click here to view all the CGFM Proclamation.
