Continuing Education

The GFOASC coordinates and approves Continuing Education courses as well as a special Certification Program for Government Finance Officers. One of the primary objectives of our organization is to promote and encourage professional competence of individuals who are responsible for and who hold in trust public funds. We are very proud of our accomplishments in addressing the professional development of finance directors, budget officers, and accounting managers.

We provide financial officers continuing education and training opportunities through our fall conference, spring conference, continuing professional education courses, and the Certification Program for Governmental Finance Officers. The Certification Program and spring conferences are held in the Columbia area. The Fall Conference is usually held at a location away from Columbia. The Summer CPE Classes are offered through webinars.

We now offer Introductory Courses in Accounting. These introductory courses are designed to help participants build a working knowledge and solid foundation of government finance principles. They are offered for the Government Finance Officers Association of South Carolina (GOASC) by the University of South Carolina’s Office of Continuing Education. and Conferences. View the brochure.
