A significant number of the INSTIFIN partners are Registered Forensic Auditors (RFA). Hence, INSTIFIN also embraces the core principles issued by the Institute of Forensic Auditors:

• Integrity
• Objectivity
• Expertise and accuracy
• Secrecy
• Professional conduct

These principles are also observed by the INSTIFIN partners who don’t have a Registered Forensic Auditor background. Thanks to its organizational form and the focus of its special-services package, INSTIFIN can, unlike other audit organizations, concentrate more on the principle of objectivity cum independence.

Objectivity and independence

To protect its untarnished image of complete objectivity, INSTIFIN increases its independence and credibility by declining to provide certain services (cf. Organization/ Service Constraints). In doing so, they avoid being tied in to long-term contractual relationships with market parties.
