Applied for a B4 senior forensic role, but was not even granted an interview after my initial phone screen with HR; I’m confused why because i thought they needed bodies. My background includes 4 years of forensic experience on multiple investigations and program oversights, 5 years in other professional, non-forensic roles, and i have both a CFE and a CPA under my belt. The phone screen was basically HR asking if i have used google suite and tableau

Try a firm outside of the Big 4 maybe? The Big 4 aren’t even that strong in forensics anyway take a look at the consulting firms, investment banks, smaller accounting firms, or boutiques in your area

I’d disagree there. There are plenty of posts here talking about the differences between big4 and other shops. All are strong it just depends on the area and type of work you want to do.

Did you try following up? What was the role? Feel free to DM and I’d be happy to refer you

BAH does forensics? I thought they were strictly on the cyber / strategy side.

What company and what level were you looking to join?

Pwc. Senior associate level.

Same thing happened to me. Sounds like same or similar role as well. Spoke to the recruiter, provided my availability, and was told to standby for scheduling.

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!
