Becoming a Finance Officer

A candidate for certification must have a degree in accounting or finance.  There are a series of eight classes and a state administered exam that must be completed and passed for certification.  The classes range from budgets, to accounting, purchasing etc. and all applicable rules and regulations that a finance officer are expected to follow.

Once certified, a finance officer is required to enroll and pass regular continuing education credits that the Department of Community Affairs must approve.
