The American Society of Military Comptrollers (ASMC), in partnership with the Department of Defense, has developed a formal certification for defense financial managers. A wealth of information is available for those who manage DoD resources—
information that a practitioner needs to know in order to perform at a professional level within the DoD financial management community. That wealth of knowledge was not addressed with any other available certification program.
The Certified Defense Financial Manager (CDFM) Program establishes a standard of excellence for professional managers of defense resources. The CDFM exams are available to anyone who has a high school diploma or equivalent and three years’ defense related financial management experience or has two years’ defense-related financial management experience and at least an associate’s degree. The program consists of three computer-based examinations that address the 12 core competencies for DoD financial managers.
