Calendar of CPE Cycles
One of the requirements to maintain the CGFM
certification in an active status is to complete at least 80 hours of
continuing professional education (CPE) every two years in government
financial management topics or related technical subjects (see
CPE Requirements
for more information).
The two-year CPE cycle depends on the year the
CGFM was awarded. The award date can be found on the CGFM certificate.
You can use the table below to determine your CPE cycle.
CPE Rule of Thumb:
If the CGFM was awarded in an even year,
every CPE cycle will also end on an even year (Exception: 1994 follows
the odd years schedule).
