| Who we are |
The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, established in 1988, is based in Austin, Texas. The over 37,000 member professional organization is dedicated to educating qualified individuals (Certified Fraud Examiners), who are trained in the highly specialized aspects of detecting, investigating, and deterring fraud and white-collar crime. Each member of the Association designated a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) has earned certification after an extensive application process and upon passing the uniform CFE Examination.
Certified Fraud Examiners come from various professions, including auditors, accountants, fraud investigators, loss prevention specialists, attorneys, educators, and criminologists. CFEs gather evidence, take statements, write reports, and assist in investigating fraud in its varied forms. Most major corporations and government agencies employ cFEs, and others provide consulting and investigative services.
The Association sponsors approximately 100 local chapters worldwide. CFEs in over 70 countries on four continents have investigated more than 1,000,000 suspected cases of civil and criminal fraud.
Criminologist and former FBI agent Joseph T. Wells, CFE, CPA, is Chairman and founder of the Association, as well as an advisory member of the Board of Regents. Criminology expert and scholar Gilbert Geis, PhD, CFE, is the Association's president. The Association serves its Members with a staff of approximately 50 dedicated professionals. |
