The Association also is committed to the education of accounting and criminal justice students who will become the Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs) of the future.

The Georgia Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners sponsors monthly meetings and an annual seminar to provide continuing education in fraud detection, deterrence and prevention. The proceeds of the annual seminar are used to fund this scholarship program.

The Georgia Chapter, Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, Inc. expects to award a number of scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each during Spring 2010 academic terms for the Fall 2010 term.

Scholarship winners will be notified in July 2010 and the actual scholarships will be awarded at the Georgia Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners monthly meeting in August 2010. The scholarship cannot be applied toward the Becker classroom CPA Review Course.
