There’s more than one CFE. Which one are you referring to?

There’s a point chart out on the ACFE website that shows the eligibility and it doesn’t appear that having audit experience is a specific requirement.

I am currently a year from finishing my PhD and was looking at VC's as a career path because I like to do meta-analysis of different climate change techs.

They said they'd be interested in working with me to do a research paper over the coming semester, and was wondering if I could leverage this into a full time offer?

Is a white paper with a VC going to be attractive on my CV?
