While finance and procurement often provide different functions, their work is unquestionably linked. For procurement officials to have the greatest impact, they need to be involved in key financial processes and have input into organization-wide decisions. Similarly, for finance officials, many processes outside of procurement depend on information from procurement to be effective. GFOA is committed to developing, educating, and advocating for best practices in public procurement.

GFOA has partnered with NIGP: The Institute for Public Procurement and the National Procurement Institute to expand member benefits

GFOA support certification to recognize competency in public procurement through GFOA's Certified Public Finance Officer program and NIGP's Certified Procurement Professional program.
