I did the FCPA program in Trinidad at the CIFA headquarters a few years ago. I've always been interested in fraud-related cases and news items so becoming a Forensic Accountant was a great career choice. I must say that the entire experience of being in the program was enlightening for me. The knowledge, skills and abilities required by a Forensic Accountant are wide ranging and the program provided much value in these areas. As a Forensic Accountant, I use the methods and knowledge gained during the program to analyse financial transactions of individuals and businesses and prepare a Forensic Accountants Report with my findings. I am happy that I did the program and I am proud of the role that Forensic Accountants play in the fight against financial crimes.

"I really enjoyed doing the FCPA program with CIFA as the lecturers taught the material in the most simple and practical way and used their own experiences as illustrations. I signed up for the programme with the goal of furthering my career but the knowledge that I gained has impacted my profession and my personal life".

I was immensely impressed with the quality of education I would have received from CIFA’s FCPA Programme. The lecturers were spot on and they valued the time and displayed the same concern they would for any face-to-face lecture. I believed one of the greatest benefits of this program is the friends you make and to top it off being able to use the letters FCPA next to my name. It has been a rewarding journey thus far. I have been receiving screening like never before from prospective employers and believe I am going to land my dream job soon. I am thrilled to be a part of CIFA’s Forensic Alumini, it’s because of this prestigious Jem I am now a Forensic Certified Public Accountant, FCPA…. It’s your turn now, don’t waste this great opportunity. Thank you CIFA for making my dream a reality.

Attending classes at CIFA was indeed a rewarding experience on many levels. From the interactive sessions to the hands on learning, it felt like at each class we were solving a different fraud case utilizing the skills learned on that day. Gaining the FCPA credential would not only give me the recognition in the Forensic Accounting field, it will also give me INSTANT credibility as my testimony in court as an expert witness will carry more weight.
