Objectives

Certified Financial Investigator Programme

The main objective of Certified Financial Investigator Programme (CFIP) is to enhance the skills and knowledge of financial investigators from the relevant law enforcement agencies that are empowered to conduct investigations into money laundering and terrorism financing activities under the Anti-Money Laundering Act 2001 (AMLA).  The deliverables of CFIP would include the creation of a pool of trained financial investigators who are awarded Certification jointly by the International Islamic University of Malaysia (IIUM) and Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). Each graduate of the CFIP will enjoy the status of "Certified Financial Investigator" who will form a community of practice and provide mentoring to new financial investigators.  In this respect, Bank Negara Malaysia as the NCC's lead agency will maintain a database of all certified financial investigators and provide platform for them to meet regularly. The NCC through Bank Negara Malaysia will provide the certified financial investigators with continuing professional development and will ensure that they maintain a consistent and common standard of investigative skills and techniques.
