Who should enroll?

Any professional who works in Accounting, auditing, governance, risk management, compliance and investigation needs this certification.

The Exam Eligibility:

Academic Requirements
In general, applicants for CFE certification have a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent) from an institution of higher learning. No specific field of study is required. If you do not have a Bachelor’s degree, you may substitute two years of fraud-related professional experience for each year of academic study. For example, if you successfully attended college full-time for only two years, you would need an additional four years of professional experience to meet the education requirements.

 Professional Requirements
At the time you are certified, you must have at least two years of professional experience in a field either directly or indirectly related to the detection or deterrence of fraud. Candidates lacking two years of professional experience can still take the CFE Exam as long as they have a minimum of 40 total qualifying points. Once the individual has fulfilled their 50-point minimum and two years of professional experience they will be awarded the CFE credential.
