Charles W. Carrigan, President of Carrigan Accounting Associates, LLC, became Certified in Financial Forensics (CFF) by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants in 2008. The AICPA, in creating the designation, stated "the credential, Certified in Financial Forensics, combines specialized forensic accounting expertise with core knowledge and skills that make CPAs among the most trusted business advisors. The CFF emcompasses fundamental and specialized forensic accounting skills that CPA practitioners apply in a variety of service areas, including: bankruptcy and insolvency, computer forensics, economic damages, family law, fraud investigations, litigation support, stakeholder disputes and valuations." Mr. Carrigan has authored several recent articles (copies are available upon request), including:
- Surprise! And the Other Three 'S' Words that Result in Time Element Disagreements
- The Auditor's Role in Commutations and Other Reinsurer Assignments
- A Brief case for the Non-Attorney Arbitrator
Gwen R. Bedell, Manager of Property and Casualty Claims, became a Certified Fraud Examiner in July 2009. The Association of Fraud Examiners states that "The Certified Fraud Examiner credential denotes proven expertise
in fraud prevention, detection and deterrence. CFEs are trained to
identify the warning signs and red flags that indicate evidence of
fraud and fraud risk. CFEs around the world help protect the global
economy by uncovering fraud and implementing processes to prevent fraud
from occurring in the first place." Ms. Bedell was awarded a Presidential Scholarship by the American Institute for Chartered Property Casualty Underwriters in March 2009 to complete the CPCU program. "The CPCU designation is respected as the premier property-casualty insurance credential. The President's Scholarship is designed to recognize high performing individuals within the property-casualty industry."
