The Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF®) Champion Program is an AICPA initiative. It offers support, and resources to help promote and expand awareness for the CFF credential. The purpose of the program is to inform the professional accounting community about the vital role of forensic accounting professionals, the knowledge required to become a CFF credential holder, and the benefits of joining the CFF credential community. Our Champions are CFF credential holders who play a leadership role to advance the credential by encouraging a sense of community among CFF credential holders within their state or 省.
