NEW: CTP REVIEW COURSE

New in 2007 AFP-IN presents an Intensive CTP Review Session during the Annual Circle City Treasury Conference. The CTP Review will be conducted by a certified AFP instructor and will include the complete 18 hour AFP course for a fraction of the cost. Because we are offering this Intensive CTP Review Session during the Annual Circle City Treasury Conference you will have a chance to attend additional sessions and meet other Treasury professionals at the reception, sponsor break, and luncheons. The cost is $125 for AFP-IN members and $150 for non-members (in addition, the conference fee must be paid). Attendance is limited to the first 50 registrants. Plan to attend this valuable review session if you are taking the CTP test this winter! This winter will be the last testing window for the Essentials of Treasury Management, 1st Edition.

CPE CREDITS

In recognition of the demanding and increased responsibilities of the corporate treasury professional, The Association for Financial Professionals (AFP) announced a new designation for its certification program. Effective May 14, 2003, the Certified Cash Manager (CCM) became known as the Certified Treasury Professional (CTP). Like the former CCM, the CTP signifies that an individual has demonstrated the knowledge and skills required to perform competently in today’s complex corporate treasury environment.
