400 fight fraud

The UK chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) recently admitted its four hundredth member, which is good going given it only set up five years ago. The rapid growth means that UK chapter membership is now the largest outside the the Association’s home base in the US. Worldwide the ACFE, which seeks to promote fraud awareness and train those responsible for its detection, investigation and prevention, has 27,000 members. A UK Fraud Examiners Manual is now available in hardcopy and CD format and an the UK Fraud Examiners examination is due to be launched later this year.
