About the Program

The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE®) estimates that a typical organization loses 5% of its annual revenue to fraud or $3.5 trillion globally with over half never recovering the funds.

Upon graduation from this program, you are strongly encouraged to pursue Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) designation through the ACFE®.
