1. Increase your earnings
CFEs earn 31 percent more than their non-certified colleagues according to the 2017/2018 Compensation Guide for Anti-Fraud Professionals. There are numerous institutions in Kenya that employ Certified Fraud Examiners and they actually pay CFEs between kes 150,000 and kes 300,000 per month. Senior and experienced Certified Fraud Examiners earn over kes 700,000 per month.

The moment you are through with the course, you shall get several offers from many potential employers; since it’s a course that is in high demand. If you want to join the field of forensic science and high-level auditing and investigations, CFE is the course to pursue
2. Advance your career
CFE certification is documented evidence of expertise and experience, representing a high level of skill, knowledge, and professionalism. Certified Fraud Examination (CFE) is to a degree in criminology the same way CPA is to a degree in commerce. A graduate in criminology, forensics, audit, accounts or finance will be handicapped from a professional point of view if they have not procured a Certified Fraud Examiner Course.
3. Enhance your marketability and job security
Robert Half International identifies the CFE as “in-demand…one of the most marketable credentials today” and A.E. Feldman, a leading executive search firm states, “…the CFE has emerged as the gold standard in the area of fraud.”.
For instance, the likelihood of promotional opportunities for security personell (G4s, Wells Fargo Limited, Bob Morgan Security Ltd among others) rises by 100%, for those with CFE compared to those who have no CFE. Auditors with CFE are 3 times more likely to get greener opportunities elsewhere. Officers in law enforcement (Police service, CID) with CFEs are 1.8 times more likely to be given investigative assignments or be headhunted for private employment.
4. Gain professional visibility and credibility
The CFE is accepted worldwide as the standard of excellence in the anti-fraud profession. A CFE is more likely to handle his/her assignments with higher level of confidence and competence and hence be taken more seriously in their professions.
See for instance, the level of credibility bestowed to CID Director George Kinoti and the Director of public Prosecutions Noordin Haji.
5. Distinguish yourself from your peers
The CFE credential is recognized in the hiring and promotion policies of leading organizations. A CFE certification is a source of bragging rights for professionals who work in environments that require knowledge in fraud examination. It demonstrates self-awareness, conscious and meditated acquisition of relevant skills by a professional.
6. Self Adequacy and Happiness
