CPIC | Capital Planning and Investment Control Forum & Conference
The Capital Planning Professional (CPP) certification was developed by the Federal CPIC Forum’s Certification and Education Special Interest Group (C&E SIG). The purpose of the certification is to provide a formal level of distinction for the best and brightest subject matter experts in the field of federal Capital Planning and Investment Control (CPIC). In addition, it also acknowledges individuals who share the same combination of professional ethics, knowledge, and experience that are the hallmarks of excellence within the profession. The CPIC Forum administers the CPP, which includes independent verification and validation of references and content of applications, approvals, and certification of appropriate applicants, denials of certification (when appropriate,) and management tracking of certified and expired CPP certification holders.
