Finance School

Each year in May, NYSAC teams up with the NYS Comptroller, and the NYS Treasurers and Finance Officers Association, to host our annual County Finance School. The County Finance School offers 2 ½ days of specialized finance trainings that are tailored to the needs of county finance professionals, including budget officers, treasurers, comptrollers, finance directors, auditors, real property tax directors and others.

All workshops feature a 2.0 level of expertise on each subject and enable county budget and finance officials to earn up to 19 CPE credits.

County Finance School has been offered for over 58 years and continues to draw top finance specialists from across the state and remains the only CPE accredited specialty program that NYSAC offers on a focused field of study.
