Our mission includes three key elements. First, it highlights that, within the international community, the Consortium is unique - it serves as an "umbrella" bringing together diverse governmental entities, organizations (including universities, firms, and other professional associations), and individuals. At the same time, it welcomes a broad array of financial management practitioners (accountants, auditors, comptrollers, information technology specialists, treasurers, and others) working in all levels of government (local/municipal, state/provincial, and national). Additionally the mission statement emphasizes the organization's focus on activities to promote professional development and the exchange of information.

Our programs provide activities and products to advance governmental financial management principles and standards and promote their implementation and application. Internationally, the Consortium (1) sponsors meetings and conferences that bring together government financial managers from around the world to share information and experiences in governmental financial management in order to educate members and others about innovations, best practices, and emerging issues, and (2) fosters research concerning governmental financial management and disseminates information and results to our members and the public.
