CFE Exam Study Guide

Pass the CFE by knowing what the ACFE actually tests — the fraud scheme taxonomy from skimming to shell companies, the money laundering stages, bid rigging in both procurement phases, what makes evidence admissible, how an admission-seeking interview is structured, the net worth and expenditures methods, COSO's five components, and the fraud risk assessment process.

CFE Exam Study Guide is a focused, fully offline companion for the ACFE's Certified Fraud Examiner credential, organized exactly like the 2026 CFE Exam Content Outline — the new three-section exam that launched June 2, 2026 — so you study the test that exists now, not the four-section version it replaced.

SIX WAYS TO STUDY
• Flashcards — tap to reveal, tagged by exam section
• Multiple-choice questions set in real scenarios — a structured deposit run, a spoofed CEO wire request, a lowball bid rebuilt through change orders — each with a worked explanation
• True/false drills built from the misconceptions that cost marks
• Term-matching game — pair key terms in rounds of five
• Searchable glossary of the fraud, legal, and investigative vocabulary the exam assumes you know
• Frameworks & Ratios reference — the Fraud Triangle, the laundering stages, the admission-seeking sequence, the ACFE/COSO principles, Benford's Law, the net worth method, and the financial ratios that expose cooked books — each with its variables and its trap

ALL THREE SECTIONS OF THE NEW EXAM
• Fraud Schemes and Financial Crimes — 20 domains: accounting concepts, financial statement fraud, skimming and cash larceny, billing, payroll and check tampering, corruption, identity theft, money laundering, securities and payment fraud, insurance, health care, consumer scams, bankruptcy, tax, cyberfraud, and procurement fraud
• Fraud Investigations and Legal Issues — 16 domains: planning an examination, employee rights, the law of fraud from the FCPA to wire fraud, evidence and privilege, digital forensics, data analysis, tracing assets, interviews and admission-seeking, covert operations, report writing, and the criminal and civil process through testifying
• Fraud Prevention and Deterrence — 8 domains: the Fraud Triangle, corporate governance, management's and auditors' responsibilities, prevention programs, fraud risk assessment and management, and the ACFE Code of Professional Ethics

BUILT LIKE THE EXAM
The CFE Exam is administered in three separately taken sections, each on its own domain outline. This app mirrors that structure — the same three sections, the same domains, weighted the way the outline weights them.
