The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners has awarded a professional designation to three partners of law firm Keoghs
The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners awarded three Keoghs partners the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) certification.
James Heath, Damian Ward and Pamela Davies are members of Keogh's specialist claims unit.
The designation is awarded only to select professionals who meet a stringent set of criteria, including strict character, experience and education requirements.
The three met these criteria and join the ranks of over 28,000 business and government professionals who have also earned the CFE certification. CFEs are responsible for resolving a range of allegations of fraud and white-collar crime.
The Keoghs partners have the expertise to obtain evidence, take statements and write reports, testify to findings and assist in all aspects of detecting and preventing white-collar crime.
The CFE was set up by Joseph T Wells - a former FBI special agent - in 1998 for the purpose of reducing the incidence of fraud and white-collar crime. The association achieves this goal by training members in the specialised techniques necessary to detect, investigate and deter fraud and by awarding the CFE designation.
