Qualification required to sign off financials for a cc

[Sandy1]

I am a 67 year (young) lady, I have been doing books to Balance Sheet for the past 50 years.
Now that I have some time on my hands, I would like to be able to sign off Financials for the
CC I now work for.
Please tell me what I need to do even if it means going back to college.

Many thanks

Don't you need to be a registered CA to sign off books ?
