At Fortaris Capital Advisors, our Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs) are trusted professionals trained to detect, investigate, and prevent fraud across a range of industries. With deep experience in financial forensics, internal investigations, and regulatory compliance, our team supports clients navigating complex allegations of misconduct or financial irregularities.

What is a CFE?

A Certified Fraud Examiner is a credentialed expert in uncovering fraud, conducting investigations, and helping organizations implement anti-fraud controls. CFEs are trained in four key areas: financial transactions, legal elements of fraud, investigation techniques, and fraud prevention. This combination of skills allows them to follow the money, uncover hidden assets, and identify the root cause of misconduct.

When to Hire a CFE:

You don’t need to wait for a crisis to benefit from the expertise of a CFE. Organizations often engage our team when they:

• Suspect internal theft, embezzlement, or financial misstatement
  
• Need to investigate whistleblower complaints or code of conduct violations
  
• Are preparing for litigation involving fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, or white-collar crime
  
• Require assistance with asset tracing or financial recovery
  
• Want to assess and strengthen internal controls to prevent future losses

Our CFEs work discreetly and efficiently to uncover the facts, reduce risk, and provide clear documentation that can support legal proceedings, regulatory compliance, or internal decision-making.
