The UA ACFE is committed to providing a comprehensive experience for all students to learn about the global threat of fraud and to help them prepare for careers in the anti-fraud profession. Student Associate membership is open to undergraduate students in any major enrolled in 9 semester hours, or graduate students enrolled in 6 semester hours. The Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) credential denotes proven expertise in fraud prevention, detection and deterrence. As a chapter we plan to have an informative and creative learning environment and we will encourage each member to sit for the CFE exam upon graduation.
CFEs are trained to identify the warning signs and red flags that indicate evidence of fraud and fraud risk. CFEs around the world help protect the global economy by uncovering fraud and implementing processes to prevent fraud from occurring in the first place. CFEs often work in such diverse fields as insurance, health care, manufacturing, banking&finance, construction as well as governmental agencies (IRS, FBI and CIA).
Professionals from different areas of Industry and Commerce will visit our chapter throughout the year and speak to our group and provide insight into their fields of expertise. We continue to have excellent support from the Accounting department and our Faculty Advisers which enable us to provide a positive and informative experience.
At our initial meeting we had 40+ students arrive and participate from various majors including criminal justice, pre-law, accounting and finance. Our meeting times and presenters will be announced and a detailed schedule provided at our first presentation. If you are interested in joining or coming to the first presentation please contact us at thesource@ua.edu.
The SOURCE is designed to provide resources, recognition, and support for both students and registered student organizations on the campus of the University of Alabama. We currently coordinate over 500 registered student organizations at the Capstone!
