As the first applied learning financial forensic qualification developed by a professional body in the region, the ISCA Financial Forensic Accounting (FFA) Qualification, leading to the conferment of the ISCA Financial Forensic Professional (FFP) credential, is developed by ISCA in collaboration with industry experts to build up capabilities in the financial forensics field.
Why ISCA FFA Qualification?
Most candidates can reasonably complete the qualification in 12 months, if they take 1-2 modules per exam session. A detailed scope of content of all 4 modules can be found here.
At least a recognised bachelor’s degree* or equivalent in the following disciplines:
- Accountancy related; or
- Other degrees with one year full-time and recent relevant work experience in financial forensic-related fields such as law enforcement, financial and regulatory compliance and forensic advisory
Applications for the ISCA FFA Qualification are open all year round except in December. Successful applicants will be approved as candidates and advised of the next available workshop and examination session upon admission.
* Those who do not meet academic requirements will have their applications assessed on a case-by-case basis.
