Welcome to the Washington Metropolitan Chapter of Certified Fraud Examiners (CFE). The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, based in Austin, Texas, is an international organization whose mission is to reduce the incidence of white-collar crime and assist in the detection and deterrence of fraud. Since its inception in 1988, the Association has grown to about 25,000 members in more than 50 countries. CFEs work in various professional capacities. They include independent contractors and employees of corporations, government agencies, consulting firms, and investigative services. All CFEs must meet strict standards of admission, including professional skills in detection and deterrence of fraud. In addition, CFEs are required to maintain their proficiency by completing at least 20 hours of continuing professional education annually. The FBI has recently recognized the CFE designation as a “critical skill set.” The Washington DC Metropolitan Chapter of Certified Fraud Examiners is a professional organization dedicated to training professionals in the field and to educating the public about fraud. The chapter was incorporated in 1991 and is one of more than 100 chapters officially recognized by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners. The primary mission of the Chapter is to promote fraud detection and deterrence through educational training programs. Chapter members provide investigative, auditing, and consulting services to law firms, business enterprises, governmental and regulatory agencies in the areas of litigation support, forensic accounting, fraud investigation, and fraud prevention.
