Any insight/advice about getting into forensic accounting? I’m currently a Finance consultant and worked in PA as an auditor for 2 years prior to this. I don’t see many opportunities for someone who does not already have 4+ years of forensic experience (within my company and outside of it).

Thanks in advance!

Best thing would be to start studying for your CFE. Taking that initiative will show that you're interested, and then look for cross collaboration opportunities. Speak directly with your performance coach / mentor about your desire to move into fraud/forensics and they may be able to facilitate that.

Recently I had someone who is not CPA track who was transferred to my group, because we don't require CPAs. He was open with his coach, and coach reached out to me, and I couldn't be happier.

Thank you! Do you look for potential team members to be at a certain level?

I should have prefaced saying that I have my CFE and have expressed this interest to my coach and other managers. It seems I need to continue networking!

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!
