About AJNIFM
The Arun Jaitley National Institute of Financial Management (AJNIFM) is a Center of Excellence specializing in capacity building of professionals in the fields of Public Policy, Financial Management and other governance issues for promoting highest standards of professional competence and practice.
AJNIFM was set up in 1993 as a registered society under Ministry of Finance, Government of India. To begin with it was mandated to train the officers recruited by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) through the Civil Services Examination and allocated to the various services responsible for managing senior and top management posts dealing with accounts and finance in the Government of India. In due course of time AJNIFM has become a premier resource center to meet the training needs of Central Government for senior and middle level of management too. AJNIFM also caters to the State Governments, Defence establishments, Banks and other Financial Institutions.
AJNIFM plays a pivotal role in governance and administrative reforms by providing a platform for interaction and exchange of ideas & experiences among officers from different organized services, different state governments and between personnel of civil and defense establishments.
Apart from capacity building, AJNIFM is also engaged in serious research studies in the areas of accounting, audit, financial management, parliamentary financial control and other issues related to public policy and delivery systems. The outcomes of such research studies are published and disseminated through Research Papers, Journals and Books.
