Administered by the ACFE since 1989, the Certified Fraud Examiner credential sets the standard for excellence in the fight against fraud. The Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) credential denotes proven expertise in fraud prevention, detection and deterrence. CFEs are trained to identify the warning signs and red flags that indicate evidence of fraud and fraud risk. CFEs around the world help protect the global economy by uncovering fraud and implementing processes to prevent fraud from occurring.
To become a CFE, an individual must pass a rigorous test on the four major disciplines that comprise the fraud examination body of knowledge:
Prospective CFEs must also meet high professional, educational and ethical standards, as well as continuing professional education requirements.
The Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) credential recognizes your knowledge and expertise as an anti-fraud professional and broadcasts the value you bring to your current position and future employment opportunities. By earning the CFE, you demonstrate professional competency and commitment, distinguish yourself from non-certified colleagues, and gain professional visibility and credibility with your employer.
Employers around the world know the value of the CFE credential and seek the expertise that comes with it. Becoming a CFE provides you with a strong foundation for a variety of career choices by equipping you with the tools you need to excel in the fight against fraud. “Bringing staff with the CFE on board enables employers to develop a more skilled workforce. Professionals who earn and maintain this accreditation establish themselves as leaders in their field and gain insight into industry trends and best practices in the process,” said DeLynn Senna, executive director of Finance & Accounting at Robert Half International. A.E. Feldman, a leading executive search firm, states, “…the CFE has emerged as the gold standard in the area of fraud.”
The CFE credential is recognized in the hiring and promotion policies of leading organizations, including the FBI, the U.S. Department of Defense, and the Forensic Audits and Special Investigations Units of the U.S. Government Accountability Office.
