Association of Fraud Examiner
In addition to her extensive experience, Nancy E. Kelly, CPA, has passed a rigorous set of exams to earn the designation of Certified Fraud Examiner. The Association of Fraud Examiners (ACFE) is a professional organization dedicated to preventing and detecting fraudulent activities. It was founded in 1988 and is based in Austin, Texas, USA.
About the ACFE
The ACFE offers training, resources, and certification for fraud examiners, and works to raise awareness about the impact of fraud on organizations and individuals. The organization also publishes research and studies on fraud trends and best practices for preventing and detecting fraud. Membership in the ACFE is open to individuals and organizations with an interest in fraud prevention and detection.
Qualifications for Certification
In general, applicants must meet the qualifications set forth in the bylaws of the ACFE and must agree to abide by the ACFE's Code of Professional Ethics. Additionally, the ACFE offers the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) credential for those who meet certain qualifications and pass an examination. The CFE credential is considered a premier certification in the anti-fraud profession, and many organizations require their fraud examiners to hold the CFE certification.
The Value of CFE Certification
The Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) designation represents a commitment to excellence in the field of fraud prevention and detection. CFEs possess unique expertise in identifying the warning signs and red flags that indicate evidence of fraud and fraud risk. Organizations that employ CFEs or retain them as consultants have greater protection from the serious threat that fraud poses.
CFEs have a unique set of skills that are not found in any other career field or discipline. They combine knowledge of complex financial transactions with an understanding of methods, law, and how to resolve allegations of fraud.
