Career:
The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) estimates that the typical organization loses 5% of its revenues each year to fraud, or $3.5 trillion globally, with over half never recovering the funds. The sectors most commonly affected are banking and financial services, government, public administration and manufacturing. (Source: ACFE '2012 Report to the Nation;). With this crime increasing each year, there has never been a better time to start a cutting-edge career as a fraud examiner or forensic accounting investigator with public accounting firms, financial institutions such as banks, insurance and credit card companies, government agencies and financial regulators or as civilian employees in law enforcement.
