Continuing Education Credits
We expect the 2024 Conference to be pre-approved for AFP CTP, CCM, and FP&A continuing education credits. You will need to submit the sessions to your certification provider for their consideration. Approval is at the discretion of your certification provider.
In all cases, you are responsible for reporting your professional credits. Conference attendees who have previously self-submitted for CE credits recommend keeping the program's Credit Reporting Form, the agenda with session descriptions, and your certificate of attendance as support should your credit submission get audited.
Conference attendance certificates will be e-mailed to all attendees within two weeks of the program conclusion. We ask that you save copies of these certificates for your records. Please note, if you decline emails from The Payments Academy, you may not receive your certificate or program updates.
