What’s your recommendation for transitioning from a Staff Accountant position at a private corporation to fraud examination? I got my degree with the intent to someday do fraud examination and/or forensic accounting. Now that i have 3.5yoe as a staff accountant, I’m looking for that next step.

Right now I’m finding it difficult to re-direct my career path from accounting to fraud investigation. I was thinking of trying for Internal Audit.

Any tips or advice?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam.

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!
