To maintain the credential, CFF credential holders must continue to pay the appropriate annual credential fee and meet the following recertification requirements annually:
The CFF, unlike other credentials, is only awarded to CPAs who are members of the AICPA. Accordingly, this credential represents the highest professional standards and sets the CFF credential holder apart from other forensic experts.
Yes. There is no time limit in terms of when you successfully complete the exam and when you apply for the CPA/CFF credential. However, when you do apply, only CPA/CFF-related education and experience in the last 5 years can be used to meet the education and experience requirements for the CPA/CFF credential.
You can apply for the credential any time after completing the CFF Exam.
Numerical score results are not included in result letters. The CFF Exam is designed to psychometrically assess whether candidates have a sufficient base level comprehension of the CFF Body of Knowledge. Therefore, results are issued as either “Pass” or “Fail” indicating whether the exam taker meets this minimum threshold.
Pass/fail score results will be displayed on-screen immediately after completing your exam. A follow-up email with pass/fail score results will also be sent immediately.
The AICPA highly recommends that candidates do not rely solely upon the information provided in the CFF Exam Review Course. This review course is meant as a review only and is not a means for candidates to learn the material in the CFF Body of Knowledge. The additional preparation necessary would differ by an individual based on prior education and experience.
Once documentation and payment have been submitted, the AICPA will review and issue a welcome letter if approved. At this time:
Yes. A percentage of approved applications are selected for random audit. Any misrepresentations or incorrect information may result in disciplinary action, including suspension or revocation of CFF credential and/or eligibility.
The exam requirement is not waived for a person holding any other credential.
