The academic requirements for Golden Gate's certificate are pretty straightforward: 18 units of forensic accounting courses with a B or better (recognize, of course, that some of the courses have pre-requisites that can increase the number of courses you'd have to take). Here's how the courses break down:
Both Fraud Auditing and Introduction to Financial Forensic Accounting are required, accounting for 6 hours. That leaves 12 elective hours, to be selected from forensic accounting and family law, economic damages, allegation of audit failure, expert witness and testimony, intellectual property, mergers & acquisitions, construction claims, forensic valuation, and financial statement investigations. The program can give you a heads-up about course times, or the possibility of just taking one or two courses for information's sake, without pursuing the certificate. Call at 415-442-6559.
