Financial Evidence Group is proud to announce that the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) has appointed Chris Davis to serve as an active member of the Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF) Credential Committee. As one of only a handful of members in this vital Committee, we consider this appointment both an honor and a privilege.
The objectives of the CFF Credential Committee include:
1. To develop and maintain qualification requirements and exam for credential applicants
2. To serve as technical advisor for education offerings necessary to both support the credential pathway and credential holder’s expertise
3. To develop and maintain initiatives to recruit and retain credential holders
4. To promote growth and demand for financial forensics services by raising the level of awareness of the CFF credential and the CPA’s, or recognized equivalent, role in financial forensics within the CPA community, approved member associations, and the public.
This year, the CFF Credential Committee aims to reach important milestones especially with respect to:
• The new global CFF pathway
• The new experienced CFF pathway
• Continued growth with global university affiliations
• Continued growth with CFF candidate relations and support, and
• Continued discussions around other engaged professionals.
Financial Evidence Group is truly excited to be in a unique position to support and further elevate the prominence of the prestigious CFF credential nationally and globally while meeting like-minded and inspiring accounting and financial professionals along the way. Many thanks to the AICPA for entrusting us with this important role.
