Certifications The most trusted certification program in Accounts Payable… now available in P2P and CPC. Accounts Payable Certification Training PRESENTED BY: Pam Miller, Senior Trainer, IOFM Pre-Conference: Monday, May 23 | 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM Post-Conference: Thursday, May 26 | 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM This fast-paced, full-day review class is designed to prepare you for the exam to earn your certification credentials as an Accredited Payables Specialist (APS) or an Accredited Payables Manager (APM). IOFM’s AP Certification Program is the largest and most successful AP Certification program because of its high quality and rigorous standards. In order to maintain these standards, The Institute of Finance and Management has updated, revised and made important additions that include: Invoice Handling; Evaluating Software Solutions; Technology Tools; Value Added Taxes (VAT); and more.
Procure-to-Pay Certification Training PRESENTED BY: Judy Bicking, Senior Trainer, IOFM Pre-Conference: Monday, May 23 | 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM IOFM’s new P2P Certification is designed to equip procurement and payables leaders and practitioners to understand procure-to-pay: to think “end to end,” to analyze and redesign their processes, and to introduce and manage change. The P2P Certification Program provides critical guidance on the what and why of P2P, how to get there, and what tools are available to help. The certification demonstrates and recognizes procurement and payables leaders and practitioners who have successfully completed the program and become accredited as uniquely prepared to lead and manage a P2P process redesign and implementation, enabling organizations to realize the value to long latent in these essential processes.
Certified Professional Controller Training PRESENTED BY: Chris Doxey, CPC, Trainer, IOFM Pre-Conference: Monday, May 23 | 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM As a finance and accounting executive, you face many external challenges as a result of the changing compliance and regulatory landscape. Internal challenges also abound as organizations undergo seemingly constant changes: mergers and acquisitions, downsizing, new systems and processes, outsourcing, or the implementation of a shared service center. To be successful, you must be ready to tackle all the risks, challenges, and internal control requirements necessary to keep your organization in compliance. The CPC program was developed through the guidance of a distinguished Controller’s Certification Advisory Board and a survey of several thousand controllers to provide guidance for the identification and development of its components and areas of study. This program will review the core business and operational knowledge required by the modern controller.
