CGFO Application

Certification Process: Once you have completed the courses, USC provides the GFOASC Certification Committee a list of who has passed the exams.  A congratulatory email will be sent with directions on how to submit your application with certified transcripts. The Certification Committee will review the submissions and recommend certification. If certification is recommended, an email notification will be sent in early April and new CGFOs will be recognized at the next conference.

CPE Reporting
2023 CPE Reporting Forms are due February 28. Click here to download the 2023 form. Members who achieved CGFO status in 2023 will complete their first report in early 2025 for the 2024 year.
