As a senior executive in corporate finance, you face a constantly changing compliance and regulatory landscape. To provide your organization with effective guidance, you need to be aware of all the risks, challenges, and internal control requirements within your company.

So why not invest in training that will ensure that you provide the best possible executive guidance to your staff and your organization?

The Certified Professional Controller (CPC) training class was the best way to dive deep into the core business and gain the operational knowledge required of the corporate controller and controllers of business units and to demonstrate that you have a firm understanding of the key areas of compliance, regulation, and effective management.

This program is ideal for experienced controllers wishing to expand their skills and knowledge, as well as for newer controllers and corporate accounting/finance professionals on a “fast track” to increased responsibility and promotion in both finance and management. The class will provide an in-depth review of:

  • Ethics and compliance
  • Governance, regulatory updates, risk management, and controls
  • Corporate transaction processing
  • Business planning, budgets, and forecasts
  • IT, security, and business continuity
  • Shared services and outsourcing
  • Leadership skills
  • Measuring success
  • Process Improvement

What Certified Controllers walked away with:

  • The foundational knowledge to implement major initiatives, including new budget processes, business automation projects, or strategic planning
  • Preparedness for new challenges – like your company going public and being required to comply with Sarbanes-Oxley – and their impact on financial processes
  • A dedication to the profession and to your company’s success and regulatory compliance

The CPC program was developed by a distinguished Controller’s Certification Advisory Board to provide guidance for the identification and development of the components and knowledge areas for the program. The educational content provided by IOFM was approved by the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA).
