Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is the Anti-Fraud Fundamentals Certificate Program a replacement for becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE)?

    No.

    The Anti-Fraud Fundamentals Certificate Program is designed to provide individuals with limited or no anti-fraud knowledge or experience with an understanding of fundamental anti-fraud concepts that will allow them to contribute to their organization's fight against fraud and demonstrate their professional commitment with the goal of obtaining new career opportunities.

    The Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) credential is designed to recognize trained professionals who possess a unique set of diverse skills in preventing, detecting and investigating fraud. To earn the CFE credential, you must meet eligibility requirements and complete the significant undertaking of passing the rigorous CFE Exam. Completing an ACFE certificate program does not count toward meeting the eligibility requirements to become a CFE.

     
  • How can I promote that I’ve earned the certificate after completing the program?
    Upon completing the program, you will receive a certificate of completion that you can download and share. Within 5-7 business days you will also receive a digital badge that you can add to your LinkedIn profile. Learn more about the digital badge.
  • Will I earn continuing professional education (CPE) credits for completing the Anti-Fraud Fundamentals Certificate Program?
    While the Anti-Fraud Fundamentals Certificate Program is not specifically designed to provide CPE, to earn this certificate, you will need to complete 8 online self-study courses chosen from a catalog of 13 courses. CPE credits will be provided upon completing the individual courses with the certificate program. Depending on which courses you select, you will earn 18-23 NASBA-approved CPE credits.
  • What are the requirements for earning the certificate and digital badge?

    Each of the 13 lessons contained within this certificate program has a corresponding exam. To earn the certificate and digital badge for this program you must receive a passing score (70% or higher) on at least eight of the exams within one year of purchase. You will have three attempts per exam to achieve a passing score.

    Should you not pass one or more exams after three attempts you may re-enroll in the certificate program by contacting ACFE Member Services and paying a $125 Certificate Program Re-Enrollment Fee. Once paid, any exam you had not previously passed will be reset to allow three attempts to receive a passing score.

  • How long will I have to complete the certificate program?
    You will have one year from your purchase date to complete the certificate program. After one year from your purchase date, you will no longer be able to access the certificate program or the individual courses contained with the certificate program. If you have not completed the certificate program within one year of purchase, you can re-enroll in the certificate program by contacting ACFE Member Services and paying a $125 Certificate Program Re-Enrollment Fee to receive an additional year to complete the certificate program.
