Program Overview

Fraud Examination & Forensic Accounting (FEA)

Overview

The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) estimates that organizations lose 5% of annual revenue to fraud—totaling $3.5 trillion globally—with over half of those losses never recovered. With increasing financial complexities and budgetary pressures on law enforcement, many large organizations are turning to internal resources to prevent, detect and assess fraud.
