Is the CFF credential useful for a forensic accountant in government? What about the AICPA FVS Section? I am thinking they would benefit someone starting a private practice more but maybe there is some use? Do private forensic accountants obtain/use these?

Fair point. Fed jobs are worrisome but state/local jobs should be fine.

I have CPA and CFE, currently and pursuing the CFF. It's definitely not as common but still useful.

Good question, basically just the study course that is provided by the AICPA. They also have some CPE courses that may be helpful. I haven't really done much on it tbh.

I feel I have been low balled because I took the offer last year being convinced that another hike was on the way. Should i have a conversation about this with my Manager?
