The Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF) Champion Program is an AICPA Initiative that offers CFFs the support, structure and resources to collaborate with state societies in informing CPAs about the importance of forensic accounting services.
The purpose of the program is to inform the professional accounting community about (1) the vital role of forensic accounting professionals, (2) the knowledge required to become a CFF, and (3) the benefits of the CFF credential.
CFF Champions are CFF credential holders who understand the benefits of the CFF credential and play a leadership role in advancing the credential and in encouraging a sense of community amongst CFF credential holders within their state.
