Professional Requirements
At the time of certification, at least two years of professional experience in a field either directly or indirectly related to the detection or deterrence of fraud is required. The ACFE recognizes the following areas as qualified professional experience:
- Accounting and auditing
- Criminology and sociology (sociology is acceptable only if it relates to fraud.)
- Fraud investigation
- Loss prevention (experience as a security guard or equivalent is not acceptable)
- Law relating to fraud
Other experience can qualify, but must be reviewed for applicability.

Famous quotes containing the word professional:
“Virtue and vice suppose the freedom to choose between good and evil; but what can be the morals of a woman who is not even in possession of herself, who has nothing of her own, and who all her life has been trained to extricate herself from the arbitrary by ruse, from constraint by using her charms?... As long as she is subject to man’s yoke or to prejudice, as long as she receives no professional education, as long as she is deprived of her civil rights, there can be no moral law for her!”
—Flora Tristan (1803–1844)
