The Cooperative Financial Professional Certificate (CFPC) is an intensive, three-part finance program for senior and mid-level finance and accounting staff. It is a collaborative program between CFC and the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA).
Program Focus
The program provides a comprehensive financial analysis of a hypothetical cooperative, with a strategic emphasis on equity management, debt management, and treasury/cash management. To help you develop yourself into your cooperative's chief financial consultant, you will learn about communications and branding while expanding your cooperative network.
Sessions
CFPC includes two, one-week training sessions, supplemented with online Web conferences and work assignments. The first session is held in the Fluno Center for Executive Education at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. This is followed up later with a series of online Web conferences. The final session is held at CFC's headquarters in Dulles, Virginia.

Who should attend?
Chief financial officers, vice presidents of finance and accounting, finance managers, office managers and other key accounting and finance staff.
With the analytical tools gained during the course, the participant becomes the financial consultant of the cooperative. Individuals earn the CFPC certificate by completing all three sessions in order and a final "capstone" report, which is a comprehensive financial analysis of the participant's cooperative. Attendees also, can earn Continuing Professional Education (CPE), or CPE credits from the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) as a sponsor of continuing professional education on the National Registry of CPE Sponsors.
