The Credential

What Is a Certified Fraud Examiner?

The CFE designation is the world's premier anti-fraud credential — recognized by courts, corporations, and regulators as the benchmark for fraud investigation expertise. Our investigators hold this credential and bring it to bear on every engagement, ensuring that findings are not just accurate, but legally defensible.

ACFE Designation Details

  • ACFE-Issued Designation
    The CFE credential is awarded by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners — the world's largest anti-fraud organization with over 90,000 members across 180+ nations.
  • Four Core Domains
    CFEs are tested across Financial Transactions & Fraud Schemes, Law, Investigation, and Fraud Prevention & Deterrence — ensuring comprehensive fraud expertise.
  • Higher Earnings Recovery
    Organizations that use CFEs recover significantly more fraud losses than those that don't — and close cases faster, according to ACFE research.
  • Court-Recognized Expertise
    CFE-led investigations produce documentation and reports that hold up to rigorous legal scrutiny, supporting civil litigation, criminal prosecution, and regulatory proceedings.

Our CFE Services

Fraud Investigation Services We Provide

Financial Statement Fraud

Detection and investigation of manipulated financial records, falsified accounting entries, revenue inflation, and concealed liabilities. We trace discrepancies from source documents through financial statements.

Asset Misappropriation

Investigation of theft, embezzlement, payroll fraud, expense reimbursement schemes, and billing fraud — the most common and damaging form of occupational fraud.

Corruption & Bribery Investigations

Uncovering conflicts of interest, vendor kickbacks, bid rigging, and other forms of corruption that undermine organizational integrity and create legal exposure.

Insurance Fraud

Staged accidents, inflated claims, workers' compensation fraud, and provider billing fraud. We document evidence that supports claim denial and, when warranted, criminal referral.
