In order to eradicate fraud in the country, the Governing Council of the Chartered Institute of Forensics and Certified Fraud Investigators of Nigeria (CIFCFIN) has admitted the Computer Professionals Registration Council of Nigeria (CPN) and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) as institutional representatives of the council.
CIFCFIN’s Registrar/Chief Executive, Isa Salifu, who stated this in a statement on Friday, revealed that admitting CPN into the institute’s council will help address issues on cybercrimes and loss of billions of naira by individuals and organizations; quacks in the space and protection of national digital infrastructures as well as payment gateways by banks, fintechs, etc.
He said the admittance of COREN will provide solutions to engineering fraud and failures, including the use of poor quality materials, building collapses, and others.
According to him, the coming on board of CPN and COREN as integral part of the CIFCFIN policy making strata, reaffirms the institute’s commitment to advancing forensic science, fraud investigation, cyber security, and digital intelligence across Nigeria, through an inclusive and multi-sectoral governance framework.
