CFE for me is a very resourceful course that will help me in the delivery of my duties as an Auditor specifically in handling fraud related matters which have become very rampant in the public service where I work. The mode of delivery is interractive with citations of case studies that helps one analyse issues with practical examples.

Am grateful to Finstock college for the support throught my study period.
