Wondering for anyone who got their CFF (Ceritified Financial Forensics) designation. Was it difficult? How long does it take to study for using the review course? Is the exam mainly multiple choice or short answer and how difficult? Any guidance or tips would help please. I already have my CFE but just want to know if CFF is worth it

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.

Question for the group. I am an experienced individual currently searching to get out of private and into public. I am a CFE and Certified Technology Business Management Executive (CTBME) with an MBA and am scheduled to take AUD of CPA on May 13th. Am I barking up the wrong career tree to try to exchange an extensive and diverse career into what appears to be specialization within public? I really enjoy project work as the monthly grind has worn very, very thin. Opinions?

Finding a good property is pretty tough in London, especially when you have preferences on what you’re looking for. Would anyone use a tool that lets you find houses akin to a google search? For example, searching ‘houses or flats with large windows, high ceilings and a parking space, within 30 minutes of Bank station for under £2000pcm’. Found this issue trawling through all the typical websites and filtering is pretty long.

I’m in hickory NC with a distribution company. I’ve been with the company for 4 years working within the warehouse being a top performer on a production based job, also earning good money since being able to run well over the production rate causes incentive pay on my check. I recently got a new position as a supervisor in the warehouse and went on salary. I went from 1st to 2nd shift with the job change and my salary is well under what I was making. Should I be researching salaries?
Thanks!

Just got a call from EY and they apparently won the US Navy audit and need people. Part of me thinks it would be interesting, part of me thinks it would be a disaster and ton of hours. Thoughts?
