I recently passed the CFE and was looking into the CAMS next. Any suggestions on how to best prepare for the CAMS? I’ve been mostly reviewing the index cards that come with the prep material.

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.

What should be the next certification that I should get? I have the CFE. I’m targeting the CFCS and the ACAMS as the next ones that I should get. Any thoughts on which one I should get 1st? Pros/Cons

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?

What’s the best CFE prep course? And does anyone know if EY reimburses?

How would you rate this offer:

Anyone else taking the CFE and can give insight to whether the actual test was the same questions from the review/practice questions? Any study tips? FYI they are also changing their proctoring system in July. Thank you!

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?

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

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!

Looking into a CAMS certificate. Does anyone who have this want to talk with me about the benefits process of getting this?

Question for the group. I am an experienced individual currently searching to get out of private and into public. I am a CFE and Certified Technology Business Management Executive (CTBME) with an MBA and am scheduled to take AUD of CPA on May 13th. Am I barking up the wrong career tree to try to exchange an extensive and diverse career into what appears to be specialization within public? I really enjoy project work as the monthly grind has worn very, very thin. Opinions?

Hello everyone! I am a Judicial Law Clerk, which I have been for a little over two years now. However, I’m planning on moving into the AML/Compliance realm. I have a background in finance, having been a Finance Disbursing Officer in the Army for 6 years with one deployment in that role. Additionally, I am currently a JAG attorney and studying for my CAMS, hoping to take that exam in the next month or two. Any advice or referrals for anyone I can talk to learn more about the field? Thanks! :)

Hi

I heard that that in Tcs only 8% will wfo and remaining wfh. Is it true. Do TCS really provide wfh.please provide your info.

Three year old and two year old share a room. This past week every night when we put them to bed the two year old cries and cries until we feed her. I’ve been trying to do cry it out but they work themselves up into a frenzy and fuel each other further. I don’t know what to do at this point and I am losing my mind. Do I move them into separate rooms and do individual cry it out? Do I leave them no matter what? (They start gagging they get into such a frenzy)

Tips on studying for CFE?

Tips on studying for the CFE?

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

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.

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

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?

Considering going for the CFE. What was your study plan for it and how long did it take?

Do you feel like you have to live in a big city to work in this field?

What hours of the day am I expected to be available in Forensics. I usually am available 8-6 and then if works need to get done them later. However I’m not sure what’s the expectations in EY Forensics.
