The Fraud Triangle on trial
Dr. Donald Cressey’s Fraud Triangle has endured because it’s correct and simple. However, the ACFE has never stated that the triangle can explain every case of fraud. So, be careful when you use the Fraud Triangle in court. The judge might reject it. The Fraud Triangle is a useful tool to help us understand why and how people commit fraud, but it’s not a scientific theory.

Reflecting on 35 years of ACFE Global Fraud Conferences
I’d been working for the ACFE for more than two years before I attended my first ACFE Global Fraud Conference. My first year — 1997 — the conference was held in Boston, Massachusetts. We had two educational tracks and a record crowd of 500 attendees. It was also the first time we had exhibitors. I think we had a total of five, including us. I’d never seen so many ACFE members together at one time. It was a little overwhelming being relatively new, but I had a great time and made friends I still have to this day. Fast forward to 2024, and our 35th ACFE Global Fraud Conference is now just weeks away, June 23-28, in Las Vegas, Nevada. It’s hard to believe how much our global conference has grown over the years.
