Works at Grant Thornton 1:

I have, and actually got approval for reimbursement. Haven’t utilized it yet but I think it’s a nice complement to the CPA and could be a transitionary mechanism down the line. Jump to comment

Is it worth getting a CFE certification as a litigator? Currently working as a prosecutor handling complex frauds. No plans to ever go private again unless it’s as a solo, ideally after getting that sweet pension to vest. Not sure if it’s just a marketing thing or an actual skill set.

How hard would it be to get CFE certification without an audit/accounting background?

CBV vs CFF Vs CFE as additional professional designations to CPA pros and cons?

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!

I’m thinking of taking an full time opportunity I’m not particularly excited about to get out of my current role. My interest lies in the compliance/legal field but it’s very difficult to get fellowship opportunities at my current company.

Is it just me or does Canada have the worst requirements for CPA? Everywhere else its 4 or 5 exams. Here you have to go through 4 exams of CPA PEP and then two capstones to just qualify for the 3 day CFE exam. And then on top of all that, the salaries are so bad for Accountants here. Is it even worth it?
