If your firm is paying for it ,I highly recommend the in person, week-long prep course. They structure it by section and they lecture on a topic for a few hours and then you take the exam. I had 1.5 years experience when I took it —granted, I come from a CPA background— and found it incredibly easy.

Knocked it out over two weekends but could definitely complete it in one weekend. First-time pass on all sections. Before taking the final exam, I made sure I scored either 90 or 95 on each of the practice exams.

I went through a the practice questions until I got all of correct. The law section was my weakest initially so I would read the online study guide for certain parts. Only took the practice exams once and it took about an hr per section for the real exam.

The prep material all comes from the ACFE website. You get it when you pay for the exam.

Super easy. I took one month from beginning to end and only studied about 2 hours each day. When you purchase the exam you get study material, a huge thick book (junk), and practice exams. All you need to do is just take the practice exams over and over till you know it by heart. You can retake just the ones you got wrong and it'll give you explainations of the answers. Read those and learn them.

Like I said, it's fairly easy. I struggled the most with the financial fraud parts because I sick at accounting, but the computer fraud stuff is common knowledge.

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!
