Business valuation and forensics often go hand in hand, but some valuation experts are not qualified to get a certification, such as the AICPA’s Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF) credential. Because of this, the AICPA has launched two intermediate-level certificate programs that explore core and specialized forensic techniques. The certificates provide “new options” to CPAs seeking the CFF credential, “as well as to other financial professionals who wish to show competency in financial forensics but are not eligible to get the CFF credential,” said the AICPA in a release.
