Certified Retired Status

CDFMs who have permanently retired from and are not working in the field of financial management can request Certified Retired status by writing to certification@sdfm.org. Those who are Certified Retired do not need to earn CPEs or pay a recertification fee.

Certified Retired individuals who wish to reactivate their CDFM are required to earn at least 80 CPEs in the two years preceding the request for reinstatement and pay the normal recertification fee.
