Just began studying for the CFE exam. I have access to past editions of the ACFE Fraud Examiners Manual. Does anyone have recommendations on where to get good practice questions? I’d like to avoid spending a fortune on the ACFE kit.

Comp question - what should a B4 Senior with a CPA, CFF, CFE, and a MBA with 4 years forensic exp (D&T) and 6+ years non-forensic exp (industry) in NYC and DC markets expect in this current climate?

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!

Does anyone have CFE study materials that they would be willing to share?

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!

How would you rate this offer:

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

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.

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?

For anyone who’s taken / passed the CFE, is it worth paying for the full exam prep course or would studying the fraud examiners manual suffice?

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.

Are you required to have your CPA in forensic and Investigations? I stalked some people on LinkedIn and saw a few senior , manger & director with accounting degree but only has CFE . Was wondering maybe they just didn’t put their CPA there. Any insight on this group will be helpful thanks

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!

How much should someone with approximately 5 years of experience be making in the pharma industry? Mostly focused on base + stock and targeting the commercial analytics / strategy space— also thinking Bay Area or NY/ NJ, I know the salaries will be different across the two.

Any of you use meal prep services? Which one is your favorite and why? In Texas if that makes a difference.

Hello JALPARIYON,

I have just started my Career in the IT
Industry 8-9 Months back.

Actually, I am in Dilemma whether I
should ask for release from the project
and get back to Full Stack Dot Net
Core Developer profile(got training)
or stick to PowerApps, as it "might"
become a BIG thing in the near
future... As I am really uncertain and
confused, how would be my Career
Path and Roadmap?
Would there be enough opportunities
in the market and good compensation
associated with PowerApps Profile?

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?

Classic story that most of you have heard. Part venting part asking for advice. My bil applied for a job that matches less than 20% of his skill. With coaching from my husband and strong referrals he got the job(185k as manager in consulting ). Here I am in Consulting for last 6 years barely making 100k. I made a snarky comment that help only gets him this much and he will struggle at the job. My husband , rightly pointed out that I am being jealous, and most folks are fake it till you make it

Has anyone worked in the disaster recovery Space and went directly into fraud? I’ve worked on disaster recovery projects as a Quality Assurance Analyst. Essentially we make sure no fraud is occurring. I haven’t had any luck finding a remote fraud role without my applications getting denied. I’ve been thinking about getting my CFE, as I’m sure that might help.

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

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

Rising audit senior thinking of pivoting to forensics. Not sure if I want to stay at EY, but should I wait to get any forensics certification until I make the switch? Also, is it better to have a CFE vs. CFF? I already have my CPA
