ACFE Designation Details

  1. 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 in 180+ nations.

  2. Four Core Domains

    CFEs are tested across Financial Transactions & Fraud Schemes, Law, Investigation, and Fraud Prevention & Deterrence. This covers all key fraud disciplines.

  3. Higher Earnings Recovery

    CFE-led investigations produce documentation and reports that hold up to rigorous legal scrutiny, supporting civil litigation, criminal prosecution, and regulatory proceedings.

Fraud Investigation Services We Provide

  1. 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.

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

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

  4. 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.

  5. Corporate & Internal Investigations

    Confidential internal investigations into employee misconduct, policy violations, suspected theft, and regulatory compliance failures, conducted with complete discretion.

  6. Litigation Support & Expert Testimony

    Our CFE investigators provide written expert reports, deposition testimony, and courtroom testimony to support your legal team in civil and criminal fraud proceedings.

    A Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) holds a credential awarded by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, the world's largest anti-fraud organization. The designation is recognized by courts, corporations, and regulators as the benchmark for fraud investigation expertise, and CFEs are tested across financial transactions and fraud schemes, law, investigation, and fraud prevention and deterrence.

  2. Can a fraud examiner help me prove an employee is stealing?

    Yes. Our CFE investigators handle asset misappropriation cases including theft, embezzlement, payroll fraud, expense reimbursement schemes, and billing fraud. Investigations are conducted with complete discretion and produce documentation that stands up in court and HR proceedings.

  3. Will a fraud investigation report hold up in court?

    CFE-led investigations produce court-admissible documentation with chain-of-custody protocols that withstand rigorous legal scrutiny. Our investigators also provide written expert reports, deposition testimony, and courtroom testimony to support civil and criminal fraud proceedings.

  4. Do fraud investigators work for individuals or only for companies?

    We serve both. Individuals and families facing suspected financial abuse, estate fraud, investment scams, or identity theft receive the same rigor we apply to corporate clients. Attorneys and law firms also engage us for evidence gathering, forensic reports, and expert testimony.
