Contributing to the Future of Fraud Fighting: Spotlight on ACFE Chapters
/As fraudsters and their schemes continue to evolve, it is imperative for anti-fraud professionals to invest in the future. Fraud examiners must draw from the work of those innovating and testing new tools, methods and ideas. It is also necessary to support the next generation of fraud fighters.
The ACFE Foundation was established to increase the body of anti-fraud knowledge and support future anti-fraud professionals worldwide through the funding of scholarships, endowments, research and other educational projects. The ACFE Foundation works to encourage students to pursue careers in fraud examination and provide resources for research on the detection and deterrence of fraud.
ACFE local chapters around the world play a pivotal role in educating and supporting anti-fraud professionals starting out through mentorship, networking opportunities and monetary contributions to the ACFE Foundation. In 2020, local chapters contributed more than $60,000 to the ACFE Foundation.
