CPF – Credit Professionals Forum

Formed in early 1991 and originally known as the CMIG, the CPF is now in its 25th year of quarterly meetings. Over the years the forum has widened its scope into a cross-industry community to which finance & credit professionals from all types of business are welcome.

The CPF equips members with the practical tools they need to meet the challenges of the current business environment. The focus is on providing an assured benefit to members – this is different to anything you have attended before.

The objectives of the forum are to enable its members to:

• share experiences and draw on each others’ knowledge of credit & finance matters
