Description
The banking sector is one of the highest employment generators in the Indian services sector. Banking certification is crucial for getting employment in banks. Banking professionals have diverse roles and responsibilities based on their designations. Many in the credit teams do financial planning or financial modeling. Few are financial analysts.
But there are some roles for risk assessment. They perform due diligence on borrowers and identify the red flags of fraud in the borrower accounts. They are Certified Bank Forensic Accountants.
Who is CBFA?
A Certified Bank Forensic Accountant (CBFA) is an employee of a banking or non-banking finance company, mutual fund, or fintech company professional, or consultant who has undergone training to become an expert in the domain of forensic accounting in the banking sector. They are also experts in subjects like forensic auditing, litigation support, and investigative accounting.
Typically Certified Bank Forensic Accountants work with the Fraud Control Unit or Risk Containment Units of the banks. They have a background of working as loan officers or tellers in banks. Certified Bank Forensic Accountant is becoming a preferred banking certification because of its choice of topics. It is a powerful online training with a certificate.
It is important to note that, CBFA is one of the foremost certification courses in forensic accounting, curated by Indiaforensic and presented by Riskpro Learning, and focuses on frauds in banking and financial institutions.
With more and more banking frauds happening and the news talking a lot about frauds in Punjab National Bank, CBFA certification is becoming important. Public Sector banks in India are facing a lot of trouble because many loans they gave out aren’t being paid back. A lot of these loans turned bad because they didn’t pay attention to signs that the borrowers were in trouble.
In 2006, Indiaforensic began offering this course as one of its first options. The Reserve Bank of India frequently advises on how to report fraud. These guidance documents from RBI are not included in the study material or syllabus, but bankers need to understand them to report incidents.

We attended the course in the live classroom format. The trainer was super knowledgeable. I have also undergone RCU training inside the bank. But now the scope of RCU and FCU activities is getting restricted to a few dashboard activities. If the employees really need to go beyond the dashboards and vendors this is the course for you.
