Sage Launches A Financial Certification Programn for Non-Profits



Sage wants its customers to be prepared for government financial regulations, and last month they launched a new certification program for the non-profit organizations using their Sage MIP Fund Accounting. The program helps non-profit professionals enhance their skills through continuing professional education (CPE) workshops, each lasting two to three days.

Seminar sessions are web-based, and tout certification in less time and at less cost than alternative programs. There has been a growth in non-profits in North America over the last decade, and the need for certified financial professionals is especially pressing in this economic climate. There are a number of certifications offered. From the high-demand disciplines, there are courses in Accounts Payable, Controller, Financial Reporting, and Senior Accountant. Other options include Budget Analyst, Financial Manager, Procurement, and Payroll, to name a few.

Sage reportedly serves 2.9 million SMBs and non-profits in the US and Canada, so these certification options are a good source of revenue. At the same time, it is a nice gesture to give financial experts a means of increasing their professional value.
