OUR ASSOCIATION

The Association of Certified Forensic Investigators of Canada (ACFI) is a Canadian non-profit organization whose objective is to promote and foster a national forum and governing body for the affiliation of professionals who offer, to the public, governments and employers, their expertise in the area of fraud prevention, detection and investigation, as well as liaise with other non-profit associations for the purpose of promulgating fraud awareness.

Certified Forensic Investigators (CFIs) are professional fraud investigators who have, by experience, education, and examination, satisfied the requirements of the ACFI and have been admitted as members of the Association.

The Association shall, through a process of accreditation, review and continuing education, promote the Certified Forensic Investigator (CFI) designation in Canada amongst its members and to the public as a symbol of the highest standard of excellence in the field.
