CFE is used for Fraud (obviously), it’s not all that difficult. It’s a 4 part test you have to take within a month’s timeframe but you can do it at home. Just take the CFE study course and you’ll be find. Not sure if the firm will pay for it, the student discount is huge if that’s an option.

What departments do you typically see having this cert?

It is pretty self-explanatory. The most common department that would have it is a forensics practice at a big 4.

If you have a CPA, you can also look into CFF. CFF is only for CPAs issued by AICPA if that means anything to you.

Ey paid for my license renewal even thou I was in audit. CFE exam is a piece of cake. Unless you are into forensic accounting, law & reg, fraud, AML, Inspector general type of work, and etc, I wouldn’t waste time getting it.

Federal government agencies love the CFE so that's where you will see the most CFEs in forensic roles in the federal government

I just screamed at my dad and walked out of our home.

This morning I was trying to get feedback from him on a business idea and his response was: Maybe you should focus on your career since you didn’t get a job in finance and had to settle for consulting, and you work at Deloitte... it’s a sweatshop. They didn’t even give you a fast track promotion did they?

This is a regular thing and it’s the fucking weekend. I could use a break.

And, unfortunately, this doesn't work all the time
