OFAC stands for Ohio Financial Accountability Certification. OFAC is a self-paced web-based training program based on the renowned Elected Officials Guide series produced by the Government Finance Officers Association, and which covers issues in government finance and accounting. It is designed for public officials and anyone else interested in learning about financial topics that affect local governments in Ohio. Participants who complete chapters may qualify for continuing education credit.

As of December 8th, 2006, the State Auditor's office has made this informational and testing site available for free. For those individuals who paid for this service, the accounts will remain active until all testing materials are completed.

The OFAC program consists of ten chapters which cover topics such as procurement, internal controls and fraud prevention, investing and multi-year budgeting. At the end of each chapter, participants take a brief quiz which tests their comprehension of the subject matter. Upon successfully completing all chapters, our office will award the participant the Ohio Financial Accountability Certificate recognizing their commitment to financial accountability in local government.
