I saw an interesting question posed when talking about detectives / investigators for the US police departments, and I wanted to hear the 🐠 thoughts. Do you think that people who investigate financial crimes should be required to have their CPA?

Financial crimes covers a lot of ground. Certain financial crimes investigators would probably find a CPA and its implied skillset pointless while others would find it useful.

The CPA only serves to keep unmotivated/ disorganized ppl out of the profession with its expiration window on the exam. This wouldn’t help our justice system because it would reduce the amount of investigators.

Nope.

Yes, forensic accounting is dedicated to investigating fraud and most are CPAs. The FBI recruits a bunch of CPAs in their white collar crimes division

There’s quite a few police departments that work with contract investigators who may not have a CPA, but have requisite experience to investigate financial crimes. The ones who don’t will typically forward the big cases to larger departments with the resources to handle them.
