 A public hearing on the bill to establish the Chattered Institute of Forensics and Certified Fraud Examiners became rowdy on Thursday in the House of Representatives over allegations of plagiarism. The public hearing was organised by the House's joint committees on anti-corruption and commerce. Details are in this report. Addressing journalists separately, heads of the two institutes maintained the stance on the proposed bill. Both are made submissions on the public hearing held by the House Joint Committee on Anti-Corruption and Commerce. The pro temp president of the Chattered Institute of Forensics and Investigative Auditors of Nigeria, Enakbe Victoria, said they were taking back when they discovered that the proposed bill was allegedly a duplication of their bill passed by the Eighth Assembly. On hearing this, we became curious and our curiosity led us to critically look at the provision of the newly introduced bill alongside with others, which has already been passed by the National Assembly and we discovered that the provision of the new bill merely duplicates the provisions of our bill, Chattered Institute of Forensics and University Professionals of Nigeria that has just been passed by the Two Shambas of National Assembly. It's an injustice. If this should be allowed. However, the Chief Executive, Chattered Institute of Forensics and Certified Fraud Examiners of Nigeria, Gashin Baki, who debunked her claim, said, the bill seeks to address the existing gaps and the growing complexities in the ways financial transactions have been conducted, especially with the use of technology and other reasons. Accountants are not fraud examiners. Neither accountants are forensic experts. And that is why, and which is also one of the accounting bodies, understanding that forensic sciences is a deployment of science to do forensics understood from the beginning that that traditional training of accountants that we have is not sufficient. Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Bajabiamila, who was represented by the House Deputy Leader, Peter Aqpartisan, said the country is in dire need of capable heads in the fight against corruption in the country, insisting that the bill is coming at the right time. In the legislative agenda of the United House of Representatives, we also stated, so we also identified the fight against corruption as one of the critical areas of our action and attention. I assure Nigerians that our commitment in this regard remains as steadfast today as it was today. The misconception arose due to the similarities of the nomenclature of the names of the institutes and their functions, as is passed in the provisions of the two bills, hence the need for the National Assembly to do what is required to save Nigerians from the semen confusions.
