Comptroller of the Treasury of Tennessee

Certified County Finance Officer

About the CCFO Program

The Comptroller of the Treasury and the University of Tennessee’s County Technical Assistance Service (CTAS) have developed a program that will provide Tennessee’s county financial officers an opportunity to learn about accounting and financial reporting principles, understand how county governments are structured in Tennessee, and enhance their skills in order to carry out their responsibilities for the fiscal affairs of their county or department. CTAS administers the educational program and testing to achieve the CCFO designation. The Comptroller’s Office has been designated as the certification authority.

All questions regarding class schedules, registration, space availability, etc. should be directed to CTAS at 615-532-3555.
