Why CFE Certification is Essential for Advancing Your Career

For professionals who wish to improve their career trajectory in the field of fraud testing, becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) is an appealing and rewarding option. Those who obtain the CFE certification will have the knowledge, credibility, and professional opportunities needed to effectively combat financial crimes. CFEs are in great demand across industries due to their broad skill set and vital role in preventing fraud in organizations.

Professionals who pursue certified fraud examiners must follow the ACFE’s Code of Professional Ethics, it guarantees CFEs uphold the greatest standards of professional behavior. This helps them gain the confidence and credibility of clients, associates, and the general public across the industry verticals.

In fact, professionals get more than just recognition when they hold the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) credential.

Having a CFE will allow you to-

• Raise your income: CFEs make 17% more than their non-certified counterparts. Compared to organizations without CFEs on staff, those with CFEs on staff discover fraud 40% sooner and suffer 54% smaller fraud damages.
• Gain respect from your peers: Showcase your knowledge and proficiency in preventing fraud to your peers, company, and clients.
• Develop your professional life: Develop your anti-fraud knowledge and professionalism over time with top-notch instruction and resources.
• Boost the marketability: The CFE is one of the most marketable credentials today. Additionally, at least one CFE works for roughly 90% of Fortune 500 organizations.

A certified fraud examiner can work for a variety of companies and hold a range of job titles in India or throughout the world, including but not limited to:

• Forensic accountants working for financial institutions, insurance companies, government agencies, law enforcement agencies, and public accounting firms.
• Public accountants serve a variety of clientele, from tiny, regional accounting firms to massive, global conglomerates. 
• Government accountants manage the nation’s finances, look into white-collar crime, audit government agencies’ financial accounts, and conduct federal accounting research on emerging accounting issues. 
• External auditors might operate for themselves or public accounting firms and they review the accounting records of their clients and provide an assessment of the fairness with which financial statements are presented in compliance with the relevant accounting rules. 
• Compliance professionals ensure that management and staff adhere to relevant laws and regulations as well as company policies and procedures.  Professionals in risk management detect, evaluate, and record the risks associated with an organization’s operations. 
• Private-sector investigators are employed by organizations as internal or external fraud analysts, as independent or agency private investigators, or in security loss prevention departments of stores and warehouses. They compile information and proof to investigate a variety of offenses.
