ACFE SA PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS

The aim of the Forensic Standard Forum under the auspices of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, South Africa Chapter (ACFE SA) is to standardise scientific methodologies employed in the course of forensic investigations, which are carried out in conjunction with criminal or civil legislation. Such investigations include almost all disciplines and practices involved.

It is instrumental to lead the way in terms of setting standards in all the disciplines of forensics applied during any given investigation. Although there are well-known and international standards in most of the disciplines, some changes may be required to address the situation in South Africa and Africa in the context of our environment and applicable legislation and/or legal systems and frameworks. Forensic scientists and criminal investigators need to be guided with acceptable standards and procedures for carrying out such examinations. ACFE SA Professional Standards set forth standards for digital forensic practitioners in South Africa.

Although the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) refers to Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs), it recognises the fact that a strong association exists with forensic examiners and practitioners. All forensic disciplines will accordingly be included in the Forensic Standard Forum.
