CFE PROFILE

The New York City Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners was formed in 1990 with 12 original founding members and is incorporated as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to fraud prevention education through meetings, seminars, workshops and professional networking opportunities for our members

NYC Chapter #14 has over 300 members and is one of the 100+ national and international Chapters of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners

Since 1990, Chapter members have attended over 100 meetings, featuring guest speakers, and attended over 25 fraud prevention seminars, workshops, etc., while earning crucial "Continuing Professional Education" credits (CPE) required to maintain the CFE designation.

The NYC Chapter is proud of being one of New York City's foremost fraud prevention / detection organizations.

A Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) is a specialist in the detection and/or deterrence of a wide variety of fraudulent conduct -- from discovering employees or executives who misappropriate company assets to assisting investors who are defrauded in the course of commercial transactions. CFE's can be found working as: captain's of industry, accountants, auditors, attorneys, security/loss prevention administrators, investigators, academicians, and law enforcement officials (municipal, state and federal)

Certified Fraud Examiners are employed by most major corporations and governmental agencies in the United States and throughout the world. CFE's are charged with investigating a wide variety of allegations of fraud as either in-house agents or as external consultants. CFE's are also utilized in the private sector, where they provide investigative and consulting services to law firms, business enterprises, and others in the areas of litigation support, fraud investigation, and fraud prevention.

All CFE's must meet the rigorous criteria for admission to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. For information on becoming a CFE contact the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners at their web site http://www.cfenet.com , or by telephone at 1-800-245-3321.
