Accounting

Accounting Certification Program

Anyone in a service center role is required to complete the Accounting Certification Program within 18 months of employment and re-certify every 3 years.

The Accounting Certification Program (ACP) helps employees develop and enhance accounting skills and knowledge by providing an overview of the accounting function, as well as detailed training on the use of specific accounting tools and their associated policies and procedures. The ACP is constantly growing/changing. As core courses become available, you can take them individually and apply them to the certification.
