Welcome

The CFCIA is an association composed of investigators from various private companies, financial institutions, and law enforcement agencies whose occupational assignment is the investigation and prosecution of financial crimes.

The organization was formed in 1951 when a number of investigators recognized a need for a common meeting place where law enforcement and industry representatives could compare notes on suspects or problems plaguing both groups. They felt showcasing current financial crimes problems could further investigation and enhance the likelihood of criminal prosecution, thereby preventing additional losses to the business community. Their belief was well founded as witnessed by the growth of this vital organization throughout the years.

President's Message:

As I begin my tenure as your 2009-2010 State President, I realize that economic times are very difficult in our industry, our country, and for some of us, our personal lives. Our country is currently facing dire financial woes because of theft and mismanagement of funds. Americans everywhere are facing layoffs, buyouts, downsizing, and major losses in most of our savings, pensions and personal investments. We must network together as an organization to solve crimes, promote effective financial crimes legislation and assist in the expeditious recovery of our previously robust economy. Remember why we belong to CFCIA in the first place.

We are not just members without faces. We are a part of a caring and compassionate community that will be there during the good times and bad. There will be a lot on our plates this year, but together we can weather the storm and keep the ideal of this organization not only alive but in good standing.

I want to thank you in advance for your faith in myself and your fellow board members and assure you that we will work very hard during my tenure to set attainable goals for our organization and achieve them. We will move our organization forward into the 21st Century by making sure we change with the times and use the technology available to us to assist our members in every way possible.

I welcome the opportunity to guide our organization (CFCIA) through these times and end with a successful year.

Respectfully,

Edgar H. Whyte
State President
CFCIA 2009-2010
