Articles and Reports
Fraud Awareness Training Benchmarking Report – While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to fraud awareness training, understanding how other organizations approach this component of their anti-fraud program can help you benchmark your initiatives and identify best practices. To assist with this, we conducted a survey of ACFE members and used the findings to create the Fraud Awareness Training Benchmarking Report. By reviewing this report, you can assess your organization’s fraud awareness training efforts and determine whether improvements or updates might be necessary.
Fraud in the Wake of COVID-19: Benchmarking Report – To illuminate the global pandemic’s impact on the fight against fraud, the ACFE is undertaking a series
of benchmarking surveys exploring how fraud risks and anti-fraud programs are changing in the current environment. The December 2020 edition of Fraud in the Wake of COVID-19: Benchmarking Report summarizes the results of the third of
these surveys, which was conducted November of 2020.
Report to the Nations – The 2020 Report to the Nations provides an analysis of 2,504 cases of occupational fraud that were investigated between
January 2018 and September 2019. All information was provided by the Certified Fraud Examiners (CFEs) who investigated those cases. The fraud cases in our study came from 125 countries throughout the world — providing a truly global view into
the plague of occupational fraud.

Investigation Team – To address the lack of available benchmarking information for internal fraud investigation departments, the ACFE collected data about our members’ internal investigation teams and analyzed how they are structured

partners with COSO – The ACFE has collaborated with the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) to produce the Fraud Risk Management Guide (FRMG) to help organizations focus their anti-fraud efforts. The
