History

 

American Payroll Association

 

The American Payroll Association (APA) is the professional society of payroll professionals.  Established in 1982 has grown to over 22,000 members nationwide.  The APA provides payroll and human resources educational programs, publications, professional support, and also represents its members in legislative and regulatory arenas on both the state and federal levels.

 

History of the Certified Payroll Professional Certification

 

The American Payroll Association developed and administers the Certified Payroll Professional (CPP) certification program. With well over 7,400 Certified Payroll Professionals nationwide, payroll is finally recognized as a measurable professional discipline. The CPP designation is an indication that an individual has achieved a high level of expertise and is qualified to meet the broad range of complex issues faced by Payroll Professionals daily. 

To better serve all levels of the payroll community, the American Payroll Association developed a second certification, the FPC.  This certification was first administered in September 2000.  The FPC designation is awarded to individuals based on payroll knowledge, not expertise; thus, there are no eligibility requirements for the FPC examination. 

The CPP and FPC exams are administered in various locations across the United States.  To learn more about the Certified Payroll Professional Exam download the CPP Handbook.
