REMINDER on CPD Requirements  

The minimum CPD hours required to stay current as a Certified Forensic Investigator is 20 hours per annum of which 10 are required to be fraud related and relevant to the area of a member's practice or employment. For example, a law course taught in Europe would not appear to be relevant for Canadians who are attempting to keep current with the laws of Canada.
