Institute of Professional
Financial Managers

Welcome

The Institute of Professional Financial Managers (IPFM), established in 1992, provides an organization for professional, financial managers. The IPFM set out to fill the niche market between the accountancy and treasury management professions.

There has been a steady growth in the membership with several hundred applications each year. The total number of members registered is over 10,000. Members have come from over 40 countries.

There has also been a steady demand from members to be representatives in their own countries. There are over 30 such representations around the world.

IPFM has established links with reciprocal bodies in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Ghana, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, South Africa, UK, USA and Zimbabwe. These bodies accept our members as their members on payment of the appropriate fee. In most instances, there is no need for our members to complete application forms other than the one on joining the IPFM.

The IPFM provides educational services to Cameroun, Cambodia, China, Gambia, Kenya, Nigeria, Russia, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. These usually take the form of our approving the educational structures of local bodies and issuing certificates and diplomas.

Membership ranges from the Associate class through to the Doctoral Fellow class. Membership of the Institute confers the following benefits:

• Use of the letters AIPFM, FIPFM or DFPFM
• Receipt of a free 16-page IPFM Journal three times a year
• Group email update three times a year.
• Right to attend the annual convocation in London

Wikipedia recognizes IPFM as a British Institute and as a Financial Institution - see Recognition page

The Convocations 2020 and 2021 were cancelled due to the COVID-19.
