Who We Are

The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) is an international, professional organization dedicated to fighting fraud and white-collar crime. With offices in North America, Europe and Japan and chapters around the globe – the Association is networked to respond to the needs of anti-fraud professionals everywhere. Our Members support our mission of reducing the incidence of fraud and white-collar crime through prevention and education.

As fraud becomes increasingly more prevalent and complicated in the 21st century, the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners is continually researching and developing new publications, self-study products, and cutting-edge fraud training conferences designed to educate and prepare fraud examiners for the challenges they face. There is no better time than today to enhance your career and invest in your future by becoming a Member of the Association.

The Uganda Chapter

The need to raise the standard of fraud examination in Uganda and for a professional body which was not limited to a specific profession such as accounting or law, resulted in the establishment of a local chapter with the mission to provide a community environment in which local forensic examination practitioners can associate. This chapter is a collection of individuals in Uganda from all industries and professions, who all have a single goal in mind; the reduction of white-collar crime in Uganda.

While an official chapter of the International Association it is important to note that membership in the local chapter is optional and separate from that of the Association. We have Interest Groups in different regions and Provinces to increase service delivery to our members. These groups meet regularly to promote network and training opportunities in their regions.

The ACFE strongly recommends that you join your local chapter. Chapter participation gives you the opportunity to meet other anti-fraud professionals in your area who are facing the same challenges you are. Sharing insights, techniques and experience, in addition to promoting fraud awareness in your community, is invaluable to the global fight against fraud. You may join the local chapter at any stage in the process, or even opt to only join the local chapter. Local membership gives you access to all the Uganda Chapter benefits but not to ACFE International benefits or the CFE Exam.
