GTEC comes under strong scrutiny as Global Academy of Finance and Management threatens lawsuit

The Global Academy of Finance and Management (GAFM) has rejected its classification as an "unrecognised university" by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), stating that the decision stems from a misunderstanding of its operations. GAFM, which provides industry-focused professional certifications, argues that it is not a university and does not award academic degrees, but rather offers professional certifications to practitioners in various fields.

The organisation has cited its international affiliations and certifications, including ISO quality and training standards, recognition by the U.S. Department of Labor, membership of the Academic Council for the United Nations System (ACUNS) and participation in the United Nations Civil Society network, to support its claim. GAFM has accused GTEC of defamatory labeling and threatened legal action if the issue is not resolved within 14 working days.
