The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) is an
international organisation geared towards providing anti-fraud training and
education and, now there is a local chapter of that body in the Cayman
Islands.
Of the ACFE’s 35000-strong international membership, some
40 people in Cayman were already associated with the parent organisation.
Speaking with Cayman Net News Interim, President
of the local ACFE, Pierre Lautischer said, “On 7 November 2005 at 10:30 am,
the first meeting of the local ACFE Executive was held in the Board Room of
the National Pensions Office.
“Our Association here will now be recognised as one of
the many worldwide chapters of the US-headquartered organisation.
“ACEF is a professional organisation. The mission of the
organisation is to reduce the incidence of fraud and white-collar crime to
assist the membership in its detection and deterrence,” added Mr Lautischer.
The presence of a local ACFE chapter has usually served
to inspire public confidence in the integrity, objectivity and professionalism
of Fraud Examiners in the different countries.
Mr Lautischer explained that ACFE provides bona fide
qualifications for Certified Fraud Examiners through administration of the CFE
Examination. He also said the organisation, “sets high standards for
admission, including demonstrated competence through mandatory continuing
professional education. It also requires CFE qualified personnel to adhere to
a strict code of professional conduct and ethics.”
Interim President of the Association here, Mr Lautischer,
already holds the CFE qualification, as well as another member of the new
Executive, Paulman Hui. Other Cayman ACFE Executive members are
Secretary/Treasurer, Russell Smith, and Norma Williams-Seymour.
