Each Certified FP&A Professional has two options for reporting credits earned. The first and preferred option is the AFP Online Recertification Resource Centre credit tracking tool. Once you have earned and logged all 45 credits, the tool will prompt you to pay your recertification fee online using a credit card. The second option is to submit the Recertification Reporting Form. This option must be used when paying by check or wire.

It is the responsibility of each Certified FP&A Professional to maintain records documenting recertification activities for up to two years from the end of the recertification reporting cycle in the event they are selected for the random audit. The documentation must contain the following:

  • Title of the activity (e.g. Capital Budgeting, FP&A Roundtable 2014)
  • Date of the activity (the date must fall within your three-year cycle)
  • Length of each educational session attended (minus breaks and meals).
  • If the program is advertised as being eligible for FPAC continuing education credits, submit the Attendance Confirmation Form, distributed by the program provider. (NOTE: programs need not be pre-approved by AFP to be eligible for credits).
