GFOA’s 2023 Virtual Forum provides an opportunity for those new to government or those with career aspirations of obtaining a leadership position in the field to experience a day in the life of a finance officer.

Over five days, GFOA will present 10 sessions that touch on topics a finance officer would be likely to face in their role.  Each session will leverage GFOA’s Financial Foundations Framework, Code of Ethics, and suite of best practices to provide additional resources. 

The Fundamentals Virtual Forum will be held July 10-14, 2023, with two sessions each day, as well as a kick off session on Monday, July 10.

Keep watch for details about sessions and times.
