Professional Certification Opportunities

Certified Treasury Professional (C.T.P.)

The C.T.P. credential, formerly the Certified Cash Manager (C.C.M.), is widely regarded by treasury and finance professionals as one of the leading credentials in the field of corporate finance and treasury operations. It demonstrates a high standard of professionalism and a commitment to performance.

NIU students who complete FINA 430 with a B or above may sit for the C.T.P. certification exam. Successful candidates will earn the Certified Treasury Professional Associate designation (C.T.P.A.). Full C.T.P. certification will be awarded once a student has fulfilled the required two years of full-time treasury work experience. Those students with the C.T.P.A. designation have up to five years after the examination date to complete the work requirement. For information regarding the C.T.P. Examination, go to www.afponline.org/.
