As Chairman and founder of the ACFE, an accountant and former FBI agent, Joseph T. Wells has learned from practical experience that accountants need anti-fraud education to do their jobs. With fraud becoming more prevalent, it is more important than ever that we provide our college graduates with anti-fraud education.

Mr. Wells teaches a course in fraud examination at the University of Texas that is based around his text, Occupational Fraud and Abuse. This book and complete course materials are available for your use in your own fraud examination course. Upon request, you can obtain a copy of the book, the syllabus, PowerPoint presentations, and other materials.

The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners has 11 original videos on fraud that are used as a part of our continuing education courses. We will provide these videos free of charge to those who agree to teach a 3 credit-hour class entitled Fraud Examination. Approval is required prior to ordering the free videos.

These videos include interviews with actual white-collar criminals, and make excellent training material for the classroom. With student discussions, the typical video will cover two, one-hour sessions. Available videos include:
