CFFA Recertification and Reporting Requirements

• CFFAs must obtain 36 hours of CPE (Continuing Professional Education) in areas of valuation, litigation or fraud consulting, or related applications in each three-year period starting with the calendar year after the year the credential is received (i.e., if you receive the CFFA in October 2001, you would be required to fulfill this CPE requirement by December 31, 2004). Evidence of compliance means attesting to which courses—or parts of courses taken—meet the requirement. NACVA has not defined specific approved courses, but any course or conference with valuation, litigation or fraud in its title would clearly apply. There will be gray areas, i.e., courses having some application to these disciplines, and we ask designees to use their best judgment to determine compliance and the appropriate hours to report. NACVA reserves the right to request more specific proof or evidence of course attendance and content, upon which a full determination can be made as to actual compliance to the CPE requirement.
  
  
• The applicant must show proof of active participation in six litigation matters in each three-year period starting with the calendar year after the year the credential is received.
