The Community of Finance Professionals will operate as a collective of practitioners and interested parties to serve as a networking and self-help group, and to share information and experiences in dealing with the challenges of financial management improvement.

   the ongoing reform agenda
•  establishing strategic links with other organisations and networks whose interests align with the
