The State of Tennessee may have annual training/continuing education requirements for specific municipal governing bodies and certifications. We frequently receive questions about CMFO CPE and Utility Training requirements. 

CMFO CPE
As a CMFO, it's crucial to be familiar with your CPE requirements, as not all training may meet these standards. MTAS provides documentation of completed training, and we identify which of our sessions may best match qualified CPE topics and categories.

To ensure you meet your CPE requirements, please contact the MTAS CMFO team for assistance before registering for any training. Additionally, the Comptroller's Office offers free CPE training throughout the year to help you achieve the 16-hour annual CPE requirement.

Utility Training
Board members should be well-versed in utility training requirements. MTAS does not track or maintain progress towards meeting these requirements. However, we do provide documentation of completed MTAS training and identify sessions most applicable to utility board governance.

It is the responsibility of board members to maintain their own documentation of completed training and continuing education. The Comptroller’s Office provides an annual training statement to simplify this process. Board members should provide a copy to their municipality and keep the original for their records.
