The Chartered Institute of Forensic and Investigative Auditors of Nigeria (CIFIA) has called on the House of Representatives to follow the Senate and pass the CIFIA Bill in order to boost the fight against corruption.

CIFIA’s Chief promoter, Dr. Victoria Enape, made the appeal at the induction/ training of new members in Abuja, with the theme “Transition to Forensic and Investigative Audit.”

The Bill for an Act to establish the Chartered Institute of Forensic and Investigative Auditors of Nigeria was jointly sponsored by Sen. Ahmed Lawan, the Senate Majority Leader and Sen. Andy Uba.

The Bill has been passed by the Senate and awaits passage by the lower chamber before transmission to the president for assent.

She said if the Bill was enacted, it would help position forensic fellows in various organizations and agencies to check illicit financial flow in the country.
