For those who have obtained the CFF certification:
I was asked to put together a working plan to obtain my CFF credential. I’m aware of the 2 certificate program (Core and Specialized) through the AICPA that will lead to the CFF. Does anyone have experience in how long it would take to complete the certificates and if there are other necessary or helpful study materials that would be useful? For background, I’m 6 months into working at this firm and have touched a variety of cases.

What’s the rule around certifications lapsing again? Are they active 6 months after you leave a partner or 1 year?

Anyone know when 2020R2 certification exams will be released?

Got perm certification notification last week. Anyone knows how long does it take nowadays to submit i140, 485, 765, and 131 starting from now? I’ve heard it can take 4-5 months just to submit after your notification as they process perm, get a paper version etc. Is this similar to your experience?

Is there any value to pursuing a consulting career over a technical product management one coming out of a top MBA? I have the skillset for a TPM and it is more money for less hours, but curious if I should recruit for both.

Hi everyone, anyone know of opening at their company that will connect? I’ve been doing FP&A work in higher Education for about 6 years and would like to break into Tech/fintech. I have an MBA and all the relevant experience (KPIs, modeling, ad box analysis etc…)

Hi everyone,
I passed my PMP thanks to this sub group.
I have passed Above Target in the People section, and T in the other sections.
It was 95% situational questions.
Thave used AR's mock exams, and used my wrong answers to figure out my weakness and where I truly stand. I didn't purchase AR's course, just the mock exam simulator.
The 200 agile questions by David McLachlan were amazing, it really helped me in adapting to an agile mindset. TIA simulator n Joseph Phillip is useful.

Please let me know if any opening for BA role for a MBA person

Hi Folks,

M30🐠 here in financial services who repeatedly receives comments about my baby face and looking like young / high schooler etc and can't grow facial hair. It's especially limiting given peers and juniors look 5-10 yrs older than me and clients think they are senior to me.

I think an online branding / stlylist consultant could help me look more mature. Eg what frame style / color glasses, hair style, clothing.

Any recommendations or experiences?

You are absolutely going to see a range based on agency and media vertical. At the AD level, there should be the ability to lead a client engagement and supervise a few analysts.

In most cases the technical skills would be uber fluency in Excel and some of SQL, SAS, Tableau/Quik, Python, etc. Fluency in one type of media and working knowledge of another. A working knowledge of statistics and ability to do in depth analysis (solve unknown problems)

You will see some ADs who have come from client side or strategy roles (or even media roles) without the technical chops. It is what they make of the role and the team they are surrounded by - it can be good if they empower their team or it can be a disaster.

Just a thought

Unhappy with role (biz ops/ strategy type) after exiting to fintech. Is it just me?
To clarify, I do like my core team that I lead. But when partnering with XFN (engineers, data scientists, product managers) often feel like a second class citizen constantly trying to prove my teams value to them. They clique together and shut out the folks with business backgrounds. My team get along best with likes of corp dev, finance, partnerships…
I’m debating to leave or stay - but are all places similar?

Getting ready to study for the CAMS exam. Do I need anything extra besides just studying the study guide and practice exam over and over. I’ve read online about people using AML assassin; is it worth it?

Any new info on the ovations awards (super racs) for forensics, was this a big hoax?

2 questions:

1. Amongst all the big PA firms, who has the strongest forensic service line?

2. CAMS or CFE or CFF?(already a CPA).

Thank you!

If anyone wants to study for the CFE but doesn’t want to pay the full price for the study materials and would be interested to split it, please DM me

Can anyone provide some guidance to taking the CFE? As in which membership option to choose from followed by when exactly can we take the exam, if the entire amount is reimbursed or not? Just a generic timeline and additional required info. Don’t want to sign up yet if the exam dates are not flexible. Thank you.

Does anyone here have a STUDY GUIDE for the CFE EXAM (Law & Investigation section)?

How long, on average, does it take to get certified after completing CFE exam?

About to take CAMS. Anyone know the exam format? A,B,C,D? Anything tricky about it?

Tips on studying for the CFE?

Tips on studying for CFE?

Does A&M pay more than EY at the SM/manager level?

Should I apply for a job KPMG forensics(associate level) after 2 years audit experience? Have CPA but not CFE. Thoughts?

For those of you who have taken the CFE exams recently what did you use to study? Likes and dislikes of whatever material you used? Any recommendations for someone who is about to start studying?

Any vacancies in fraud investigations / forensic audits for experienced CAs in Mumbai? Please do let me know in case of any leads. Thanks in advance

Is it just me or at EY Forensics everyone just blame any mistake on those below them. I sent something to a client with a mistake which my supervisor didn’t notice as well. When the client came back the supervisor just fully blamed me for it like they didn’t review the work themselves. I completely agree with taking responsibility for my mistakes but mistakes happen and there is no need to finger point like it’s not a team effort.

I was told getting CFE could increase my earing potential by 17%, has this been anyone else's experience?

Advice on how to start CFE? I gotta become a member first, but then what? And approximately how long did it take to study for while working?

Looking for advice on certifications, which is better to take 1st, CFE or CFCS or CAMS?
