Are the promotions looking extremely difficult this year in Forensics? Hoping it’s not just me feeling it.

Overall there’s a bit of contraction. With many firms doing layoffs, they’ve set the table to not expect promotions.

True, similar messaging.

Yes it’s very tight this year.

My peers across the industry all feel the same way. Not that it changes the outcome, but this isn't an EY only situation

Agreed.

Depends what level to what level

Seems to be across the board for EY. Maybe not so tough for staff to senior but everyone else is affected.

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 interested in investigations but also analytics, financial modeling, and expert witness services. Throw in salary potential for bonus points. I'll be getting my CPA, CFE, and CAMS.
