Certified in financial forensics (CFF) credential
The Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF) credential is granted exclusively to professional accountants (as deemed by a governing body) who demonstrate considerable expertise in forensic accounting through their knowledge, skills, and experience. It encompasses fundamental and specialized forensic accounting skills for practitioners to apply in a variety of service areas. By obtaining the CFF credential, qualified CPAs who pay the annual fee to be part of CPA Canada and who are forensic accounting practitioners, internal auditors, controllers, or CFOs will position themselves as trusted accounting service providers.
