Hi
Any idea as to the prospects for someone who has a CFE - "Certified Fraud Examiner" certification, in terms of job, salary,etc?
Who are the main employers?
Anyone in this forum who has done the certification?
Also, if anyone can comment on the AML "Anti-Money Laundering" certification, and its prospects.
Cheers
Hi,
Almost all big and small retailers' head offices hire CFEs. First try contacting the recruitment agencies and send your resume to the retailers' headoffices. These include (but not limited to) Best Buy, Rogers, Telus, Wall-Mart, Payless shoes, Source - circuit city, any supermarket, etc.
CFE is a niche market and the demand might be there, considering it doesn't have a vast professionals' pool.
Salary wise, you might start anywhere at 40-45k, but not quite certain as it depands upon the company. As for the other details, someone already working as a CFE might put a light on it.
I am not sure if you're aware of this site as well: http://www.acfetoronto.com/
Hope it helps.
Hi
Thanks febpreet! I was under the impression that CFE's are only in demand in the banking, credit card and Finanacial companies, and some of the major consulting firms.
Never knew about this kind of opportunities in the retail industry though...
Cheers

That's true though. However, in retail backoffices and headoffices, CFE professionals keep tab on store activities by employees and customers and whomsoever visiting the facility. What's the trend and how the employees handling cash transactions, any fraudulent activities, theft, break-ins are all handled by CFEs. Trust me, backoffice fraud examiners/analyst find a great deal of illegal/fraudulent transactions on the till/cash register. They handle investigations leading to charges as well (in some cases).
I work in retail industry (IT field).
