The Institute of Professional Financial Managers (IPFM) was established in 1992 as a UK professional body. It was established to bridge the gap between the Accountancy and Treasury 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 UK, USA, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Ghana, India, Nigeria, South Africa 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, Ethiopia, Gambia, Kenya, 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.

“Whenever any form of government shall become destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, & to institute new government, laying it’s foundation on such principles & organising it’s powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety & happiness.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition. In America, this system is carried to the point where a man who can knock a small white ball into a series of holes in the ground with more efficiency than anyone else thereby gains social access to the President of the United States.”
—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)
“A theory of the middle class: that it is not to be determined by its financial situation but rather by its relation to government. That is, one could shade down from an actual ruling or governing class to a class hopelessly out of relation to government, thinking of gov’t as beyond its control, of itself as wholly controlled by gov’t. Somewhere in between and in gradations is the group that has the sense that gov’t exists for it, and shapes its consciousness accordingly.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
“We also have to make sure our children know the history of women. Tell them the rotten truth: It wasn’t always possible for women to become doctors or managers or insurance people. Let them be armed with a true picture of the way we want it to be.”
—Anne Roiphe (20th century)
