"Working globally with governments, organizations, and individuals, the International Consortium on Governmental Financial Management is dedicated to improving financial management by providing opportunities for professional development and information exchange."

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.

The International Consortium on Governmental Financial Management provides three options for membership.

1. Sustaining Members: organizations promoting professional development, training, research or technical assistance in financial management; willing to assume responsibility for and to actively participate in the affairs of the Consortium. Each Sustaining Member has a seat on the ICGFM's Board of Directors and receives 10 copies of all ICGFM publications to be distributed within their organization. (Dues: $1,000)
2. Organization Members: government entities with financial management responsibilities, educational institutions, firms, regional and governmental organizations, and other professional associations. Six organization members serve on the ICGFM's Board of Directors and organization members receive 5 copies of publications to be distributed to their members. (Dues: $250/$125*)
3. Individual Members: persons interested in or dedicated to activities directly related to financial management and who wish to be members in their own right. Six members of the ICGFM Board of Directors will be selected from among all individual members. Each individual member will receive a copy of all ICGFM publications. (Dues: $100/$50*)
