Welcome to the website of the Georgia Chapter of Certified Fraud Examiners. We are the local Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE). We are located in Atlanta, Georgia, but strive to serve the needs of fraud prevention specialists throughout the state of Georgia. We conduct monthly luncheon meetings throughout the year usually on the first Friday of each month. Each meeting features a presentation on a fraud-related topic and provides an opportunity to network with other fraud prevention professionals. Our primary objectives are to: 1) Network with other fraud prevention professionals, 2) Further intra-organizational fraud education and 3) Bring fraud education & awareness to the local community.
