Any opinions on if forensics is still a good service line to switch into at EY?

If you’re just trying to break into forensics from say, audit, and EY is the only offer you have, then sure. Take it to get your foot in the door.

If you’re already in forensics then it’s probably not worth it. You’ll likely have to take a pay cut. You also probably won’t get the same caliber of people and project experience at EY as you would at true forensics practices. EY is kind of like the Walmart of the forensics world.

Thank you! Currently in audit at EY, so trying to make an internal move before leaving the firm altogether

All depends on where you land. Overall, it’s a great group of people and they cultivated a great culture. Work wise, you may be based in Insurance, investigations, etc., but you will be doing FEMA Public Assistance work at some point. It’s what the firm is heavy in now. It’s imperative on you to find work you want to do and make sure leadership knows that. They will try to accommodate you the best they can, but it’s still a possibility.

No word on those changes yet but if you reach out to your talent person they can point you in the right direction of the Forensics talent contact.

No it ain’t.

Definitely depends on what group you were being brought in. Especially when you factor in bonus. My total pay was going to higher than that of my SM 4 prior to me leaving.

It’s not a forensics practice 😂

Heard that talk track from AP ad nauseam but it’s not true. OP, if you want to pursue forensics at EY just go talk to Talent and they’ll get you connected with the right person or feel free to DM me.

Yes it’s a great service line. Come on over, happy to see you want to stay with the firm.

If you want to do forensic then yes.

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!
