Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) Credential

With fraud ever evolving — and on the rise — organizations worldwide rely upon Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs) to safeguard their businesses from fraud’s devastating impact.

What is a CFE?

CFEs are trained professionals who possess a unique set of diverse skills in preventing, detecting and investigating fraud. Skills such as:

  • Knowledge of complex financial transactions
  • Understanding of investigative techniques and legal issues
  • The ability to resolve allegations of fraud
  • Designing effective anti-fraud programs

As a CFE, you will have access to world-class anti-fraud training and resources through the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE). This enables you to build and maintain your expertise and stay informed about the latest trends and best practices.
