Most insurers though engage private investigators, but the Private Investigator (PI) is not an Insurance Investigator! Their glaring pedagogical, professional inadequacies and shortcomings are often exposed when their insurance cases are litigated in the courts. That is why insurance practitioners often contend that the courts always take the side or favor the claimant no matter how fraudulent the case might be. We posit, however, that if a claim is well investigated but poorly reported, what do you expect the courts to do?

There is no body of knowledge in private investigation that teaches them insurance principles, practice, and the tactics and strategies to uncover fraud perpetrated by health providers around the world. These subjects and more are sine qua non in insurance investigation.

These challenges are what we attempt to resolve by establishing this professional body and the Associate Certificate cum CIIP program we currently offer. The certificate is awarded to candidates who are members of the association and pass the test specified for it. Five publications are presented as compulsory reading materials and all publications of the association or ancillary titles. They are made available to the candidates on registering for the program.
