Wido Lestari SE, CFE

Finally ya..
Certified Fraud Examiner
For those who want to know and/or want to be a CFE, here is your first opening gate ==> http://www.acfe.com/

I will share my beginner CFE experience from 0 to now.
the questions are:
1. How can I become one?
well, you know I work at Government Ins. my ins got donation offering from ICITAP (International Criminal Investigative Training Program). 10 staffs will get full material support to be CFE. human resources dept at my place then held open competition test and I was chosen as the lucky one even though i just join the ins less than a year.

2. Things I prepare
before the test, I was not really studying. I just known that I can compete only a day before the test. let's say, it's just my luck supported with my education background (accounting - auditing) hehehe~~~~

3. Preparation course
There are 4 subjects, I should passed to become a CFE. first, LAW! the most challenging one (due to my accounting background). it was not easy to understanding law especially law that has different principle from law you used to notice in your country.

ok. let's skip the detail first. the next subject is INVESTIGATION. I learned how to conduct a good way to collect evidence specified to fraud case such as mind reading, how to interview the no 1 suspect, etc.

third subject is FINANCIAL TRANSACTION & FRAUD SCHEMES. yeah! finally subject that matched with my education background. what I learned from this subject were financial statement, what is FS, how to read it? fraud that may came or affect it, fraud schemes, etc. just like what I've learned from collage upgraded version.

last subject is FRAUD PREVENTION & DETERRENCE. the last two subjects made me reminiscence my days as an auditor. how i miss become one.

at the prep course, we should passed trial exam by minimum score 80% for each subject so that we will become eligible for CFE test pass guarantee which mean you dont need to worry if you dont pass the certification test at the first try. you can took another test for free for the whole year until you pass it and become CFE.

I passed at my first try though. :P

4. CFE TEST
just 2 weeks after prep course, i took the certification test. 1 test subjects per day. so overall it took 4 days to complete all of the subject. approximately 120 questions you should finished in 150 minutes.

5. pasca CFE.
