Fraud Examiner

The purpose of this qualification is to prepare a learner to operate as a Fraud Examiner. A Fraud Examiner prevents, detects and deters fraud by identifying unusual trends and fraud indicators in organisations' processes and operations, determines whether organisations have adequate internal controls and fosters an adequate control environment to mitigate fraud risk. Conducts investigations of civil or criminal fraud, white-collar crime and identified fraud indicators. A qualified learner will be able to: • Create and establish an anti-fraud culture. • Monitor and advise on legal elements related to affixing blame as a result of fraud investigations. • Investigate and report on fraud findings. • Identify and investigate fraud schemes in the occupational environment.

The South African Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners is a recognised South African professional body, representing and governing fraud examination professionals in South Africa. The South African Chapter represents the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners in South Africa, which is the world's largest anti-fraud and white-collar crime organisation and premier provider of training and education in these areas. Fraud Examiners are committed to reducing white-collar crime worldwide and inspiring public confidence and objectivity within the profession. This occupational qualification will be replacing the existing historical qualification (67269: Advanced Certificate Fraud Examination). This qualification is aligned to the international agreed minimum standards for fraud examiners and is aimed at providing practitioners with the necessary knowledge, skills and work exposure to perform as fraud examiners in a variety of settings and sectors. The qualification's External Integrated Summative Assessment will also be acknowledged as the required examination for the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) designation. The qualification is aimed at providing the learner with the required competence related to fraud prevention, detection and deterrence. As such someone with this qualification will be part of an international fraternity of people trained to identify the warning signs and red flags that indicate evidence of fraud and fraud risk, protecting the global economy by uncovering fraud and implementing processes to prevent fraud from occurring. Fraud Examiners are leading the fight against fraud worldwide. This qualification increases people's employability with its alignment to the international standard for anti-fraud professional. The qualification could thus either serve to augment a wide variety of occupations with an anti-fraud focus or the qualification could provide access to employment as a Fraud Examiner.
