Blake Miller           This past April, one of our firms Senior Accountants, Blake Miller, passed his Certified Fraud Examiners (CFE) test. Blake is a CPA who works out of our Des Moines office and has been with the firm since 2011. The CFE credentials denote an expertise in fraud prevention, detection and deterrence. A complex and unique skill set are involved in the designation. CFEs are trained to identify the warning signs and red flags that indicate evidence of fraud and fraud risk by combining knowledge of complex financial transactions with an understanding of methods, law and how to resolve allegations of fraud. CFEs help to protect the global economy by uncovering fraud and implementing processes to help prevent fraud from originating. To become a CFE, an individual must pass a rigorous test on the four major disciplines that comprise that fraud examination body of knowledge:
  • Fraud prevention and deterrence
  • Fraudulent financial transactions
  • Fraud Investigation
  • Legal elements of fraud
Because of his CFE status, Blake has also become a member of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE). Founded in 1988 in Austin, Texas, the ACFE is the world’s largest anti-fraud organization and premier provider of anti-fraud training and education. Congratulations Blake!
