The Rutgers University Business School and the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy have signed a memorandum of understanding creating a pathway for Rutgers students to practice governmental accounting outside the United States.

Under the agreement, current students and graduates of Rutgers Business School’s Master of Governmental Accounting students will be given the opportunity to qualify with CIPFA as a Chartered Public Finance Accountant through CIPFA’s online platform.

The credential will allow graduates of the Master of Accountancy in Governmental Accounting to work in other areas of the world in public finance positions. Under the terms of the agreement, the first CIPFA session will be open to students in September 2019.

Rutgers students and alumni will have access to the full range of CIPFA member services, including webcasts and training videos, access to special events, and international networking opportunities. Once they are a CPFA, CIPFA will support graduates in their ongoing professional development throughout their career in public finance.
