. April 26, 2017

AUSTIN, TX. April 26, 2017 — Hospitality Financial and Technology Professionals (HFTP®) recently launched the newly updated Certified Hospitality Accountant Executive (CHAE®) certification exam. The new CHAE exam is now available for applicants, and was designed to give applicants the ability to utilize their financial knowledge and skills acquired. The CHAE Application is available for download on the HFTP website, and the policy and procedures includes detailed information on the application process and the requirements necessary to sit for the exam. The CHAE is a hospitality-specific designation which shows both a dedication to hospitality and accounting.

The new CHAE exam now has four sections instead of five as was in the previous exam. The new exam features a more global finance focus, and is based on experiential learning from financial knowledge and skills acquired. Exam questions focus on financial accounting, managerial accounting, ethics, fraud, internal controls and general questions. Updated features also include an ethics and CHAE policies and procedures section. As an added benefit to those interested in hospitality certification, HFTP will conduct a CHAE webinar review series in May 2017. Also, exam review topics can be found on PineappleSearch.com, and revamped review slides can be found here on the HFTP website.

“HFTP certification indicates an individual's commitment to professionalism, continuing education and their chosen career path,” said HFTP CEO Frank Wolfe, CAE. “Certification can help hospitality professionals elevate their knowledge and skill as well as demonstrate superior industry performance.”

HFTP currently offers two hospitality-specific certifications: the Certified Hospitality Accountant Executive (CHAE®) and the Certified Hospitality Technology Professional (CHTP®). HFTP's certification programs are globally recognized for setting industry standards for hospitality finance and technology. Active certificants have reported higher salaries in the 2016 HFTP Compensation & Benefits Survey conducted by the HFTP Americas Research Center. HFTP offers the only designations for finance and technology professionals who are working in the hospitality industry.
