The CAFM designation was developed with the support of the Certified General Accountants Association of Canada (CGA Canada). The CAFM educational program is based on a series of core competencies that are essential for aboriginal financial managers. The competencies are the knowledge, skills and attitudes that have been identified as critical for a financial manager to provide efficient and effective financial management.

A CAFM is an outstanding financial manager who provides leadership and valuable advice on financial and management operations. They set the standard for their profession - they raise the bar in professionalism. CAFMs can lead activities in office management/administration; finance; program management; IT and human resources.

At March 31, 2008 there are a total of 44 CAFMs in Saskatchewan. Below is a list of a few of our CAFMs.
