The Government Audit Training Institute (GATI) of Graduate School USA has been the premier provider of government audit training since 1978. GATI offers 48 up-to-date auditing courses covering current competencies needed at all career levels by government auditors and analysts.
GATI courses emphasize training for performance auditing and program evaluation, as well as contract, grant, financial, IT, and system security audits. Courses cover auditing objectives of assessing and promoting economy, performance measurement, efficiency and effectiveness, internal control, risk assessment, analytics, and fraud prevention and detection. They also address all aspects of successful auditing processes and current methodologies –such as planning, sampling, report writing, interviewing, critical thinking, and managing audit projects and staff.
CFOC Trusted Training Provider
Graduate School USA is a trusted training provider for the Chief Financial Officers Council. In coordination with the OMB, we’ve developed a curation of programs to foster workforce modernization within the financial community. Through this initiative, we aim to deliver a comprehensive learning experience to aid the federal government’s mission to better serve the public.
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, and 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.
