ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Graduate Certificate in Forensic Accounting program provides the technical knowledge
needed by attorneys and accountants working in the forensic accounting 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 accounting
courses are also eligible for Continuing Professional Education (CPE).
Students who complete the certificate and choose to pursue a graduate accounting degree
may have certain graduate requirements waived upon review by the School of Accounting.
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.
