For Affiliates

Affiliation serves as an excellent stepping stone for those considering pursuing the prestigious Certified Forensic Investigator (CFI) designation.

Achieving the CFI designation signifies reaching the highest standards of excellence in the forensic investigation field. This certification is exclusively available to ACFI Affiliates who fulfill strict criteria related to experience, education, and examination.

For those Affiliates who may not yet meet the required experience for the CFI designation, there is a valuable interim option. They can attain the Certified Forensic Technician (CFT) designation, which recognizes their foundational knowledge and competence in the field. This designation remains available until they gain the necessary experience to qualify for the CFI certification.

  • Recognition as the holder of a designation which symbolizes the highest standard of excellence in its field
  • Confirmation of that designation by the association for members in good standing.
  • Continued educational and networking opportunities.
  • Promotion of your designation via the ACFI website in the CFI/CFT Directory
  • Complimentary access to the current ACFI Fraud Manual – a $245 value.
  • Email updates of events and news.
  • Member pricing for events via member log-in on the ACFI website
