Depending on your lens, it could be neither (e.g., intellectual property or tech).

Depends on what type of projects you work on - you could be working on GAAP heavy litigated matters (accounting), or damages and valuation cases (finance and accounting). Some could be none, like BSA/AML compliance.

It's a legal job for non-lawyers

I work in this space, heavy accounting but no CPA required. My team is very supportive on the learning of the nuances

It really depends on what projects you’ve worked on. I know people who have made a career in forensics doing mostly forensic audits and restatements, which is about as accounting heavy as you can get. I also know people who live inside of DCFs and who seem to know more finance than the people in the finance departments of their clients. So the short answer is: your mileage may vary

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam.

But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
