What Do Exams Cover?
The three comprehensive
examinations that make up the core requirement of the CGFM program are:
Each of the three
separate examinations is structured to require a candidate to demonstrate
primarily a general familiarity, understanding and appreciation of the
subject area. However, portions of each examination, particularly
Examination 2, requires a more detailed knowledge of specific techniques,
standards, procedures and practices unique to either the federal government
or state and local governments.
The three CGFM
Examinations are administered year-round in a multiple-choice, computerized
format on behalf of AGA by NetCertification, Inc. via the Prometric
Technology Centers. This computer-based administration allows the CGFM
Examinations to be offered securely in more than 300 locations in the United
States, reducing travel costs and allowing candidates to schedule exams at
their convenience. See
Examination Procedures
for more information on how the examinations are administered.
