Just buy the prep course package from ACFE. And tbh, the CFE exams aren’t difficult. Just use your common sense and study the main topics

The practice questions are a lot like the audit part of the cpa.... we’ll be okay!!

Yeah I bought the prep course and just did the prep questions and practice exams 2-3 times each, then took the exam.

Crammed it all into about 6 weeks and passed. Not terribly difficult.

I took the CFE a few years ago and completely agree that it's easier than CPA. Some questions were common sense even. EY did reimburse but you need approval from office managing partner if it's a second credential and I believe it was not reimbursed through the normal t&e process. It's probably a good idea to check the policy or with someone on the talent team in case there's been changes

EY reimburses prep course and exam fee (can buy as a combo direct from ACFE). EY also pays annual dues. It’s an incredibly easy exam, questions pulled directly from practice exams.

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!

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.

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.
