CAMS is easy but pricey. EY puts on the classes every few years and it’s a good way to knock out both the classes and exam in one weekend without having to get approvals for the cost.

Yea. I was thinking about that. I’m not a CPA and was thinking of it would be worth it to go back to school to get the required hours and accounting classes needed as I don’t have an accounting background.

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!
