All GATI courses meet GAGAS and NASBA continuing professional education requirements. Most GATI courses are aligned with DoD Financial Management Certification requirements.
All Graduate School, courses labeled as AUDT within the Government Audit Training Institute qualify for, and are based upon, the GAGAS defined 24 Government Auditing CPE requirement (as well as the remaining 56 CPE of the 80 total required in a two year period) and are NASBA compliant.
Many of the other Graduate School courses listed with ACCT, FINC, BUDG, ACQI, PGMT, COMM, WRIT labels also qualify for GAGAS eligible CPE.
The GAO Guidance on GAGAS Requirements for Continuing Professional Education says..."The term "auditor" used throughout GAGAS...includes individuals who may be titled auditor, analyst, evaluator, inspector, or may have a similar position". So the terms Audit or Auditor used in GATI course listings apply generically to all position titles engaged in audit, evaluation and similar work.
GATI instructors are subject matter expert practitioners, representing the diversity of our students and providing personal attention to their training needs.
