Members with the CFE credential gain a professional advantage and quickly position themselves as leaders in the global anti-fraud community.

• There are currently more than 19,000 CFEs worldwide. As experts in the four major areas of fraud, CFEs are trained to identify the warning signs and red flags that indicate evidence of fraud and fraud risk.
  
   
• To become a CFE, one must pass a rigorous examination administered by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), meet specific education and professional requirements, exemplify the highest moral and ethical standards and agree to abide by the CFE Code of Professional Ethics.

• The FBI officially recognizes the CFE designation as a critical skill set for its diversified hiring program.
