About this exam
The Certified Treasury Professional (CTP) Examination is the AFP credentialing exam for professionals who manage or support an organization’s treasury and finance activities. It is relevant to treasury analysts, cash managers, corporate finance staff, and accountants moving into treasury roles. The exam assesses applied knowledge used to manage cash and liquidity, working capital, financial risk, treasury operations, and corporate finance. For an accountant, it connects financial reporting and controls experience with decisions about cash positioning, forecasts, funding, payments, and the use of financial resources.
Candidates preparing for the CTP exam should expect to apply concepts to workplace situations, not simply memorize terminology. Review the current AFP exam content outline and candidate handbook for the applicable 2027–2028 cycle, since official requirements and exam details can change. Build a study plan around the published knowledge areas, including cash forecasting and variance analysis, daily liquidity, receivables and payables, and inventory-related working capital. Use timed multiple-choice practice to identify gaps, then revisit the reasoning behind missed answers; free online practice can supplement, but not replace, the official outline and study materials.
How to Prepare for the CTP Examination
- Start with AFP’s current CTP exam content outline and candidate handbook; map each knowledge area to your study schedule and confirm the current eligibility and testing requirements.
- Review treasury foundations and corporate finance alongside cash positioning, liquidity, forecasting, and working capital. As an accountant, connect these topics to controls, cash-flow impacts, and financial decision-making.
- Use timed multiple-choice sets to practice applying concepts, track recurring errors, and review why each answer is correct or incorrect rather than relying on memorization.
