CFAP Forensic Audit Simulator: The Practical Component of CFAP
What the CFAP Forensic Audit Simulator is, and where it fits in the Certified Forensic Accounting Professional (CFAP) — the live, graded case-investigation counterpart to its video curriculum.
What is CFAP?
A short introduction to the Certified Forensic Accounting Professional (CFAP).
See the CFAP course →10-case, live graded simulator. The CFAP Forensic Audit Simulator is a real, working part of this course today — triage, investigation, and a forensic findings report write-up, scored automatically against each case's own facts.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the CFAP Forensic Audit Simulator?
- The CFAP Forensic Audit Simulator is the practical, case-based component of the Certified Forensic Accounting Professional (CFAP) — a live, graded simulation worked against a 10-case library of forensic-accounting and fraud investigation cases spanning banking fraud, stock-market fraud, and corporate fraud (revenue recognition, payroll, vendor, related-party, and procurement schemes among them), the same graded-simulator model Riskpro's CAMP AML Investigation Simulator already established.
- Is the CFAP Forensic Audit Simulator available now?
- Yes. It is a live, graded simulator: a candidate triages each case for red flags at L1, investigates the evidence and works an RFI (request-for-information) at L2, and writes up the forensic findings report at L3 — every stage scored automatically against that case's own facts, not a static answer key.
- What does a candidate actually do in the simulator?
- Following the CAMP model, a candidate works through real case material — customer/entity facts, red flags, and a set of illustrative transactions for a given scheme (e.g. inflated loan collateral, circular trading, channel stuffing, a fictitious vendor, or a ghost-employee payroll scheme) — decides whether to flag it for investigation, investigates the evidence and requests further information where needed, and produces the kind of investigative judgment and written findings covered in this course's Forensic Investigation Report guide.
- How is this different from the reference material on this site (the Glossary, Red Flags Reference, and Report Guide)?
- Those three pages are reference material — definitions and red-flag patterns you can read today. The CFAP Forensic Audit Simulator is the applied, case-based practice layer built on top of that reference material, where a candidate actually works a case queue end to end.
- Do I get a certificate?
- Yes — a certificate is issued on completing the course and passing the final examination, once the simulator's L1/L2/L3 gates are resolved. See the CFAP certificate verification page for how a certificate can be independently checked.
