A comprehensive graduate certificate program designed to prepare accounting students
for the Certified in Financial Forensics credential.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Graduate Certificate in Forensic Accounting program provides the technical knowledge
needed by attorneys and accountants working in the forensic field. An advisory board
of subject-matter experts designed the curriculum. While the main aim of the program
is the Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF) credential, forensic courses are also
eligible for Continuing Professional Education (CPE).
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
Some certificate courses have prerequisites that must be satisfied (through transfer
of equivalent coursework, or by taking the courses at Golden Gate University) before
the certificate courses can be completed.
