Welcome to the Mid-South Chapter of the ACFE

The Mid-South Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners was founded in 1992, in the home of the blues and barbeque, Memphis, Tennessee.

Our chapter consists of fraud detection and prevention professionals in the Memphis and surrounding area. Many of our members hold the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) designation. However, we welcome anyone that works in the fraud field or is interested in fraud investigation and prevention.

The ACFE is the world’s largest anti-fraud organization and premier provider of anti-fraud training and education. Together with over 95,000 members, the ACFE is reducing business fraud worldwide and inspiring public confidence in the integrity and objectivity within the profession.

Invest in your future by establishing yourself as a skilled specialist in a growing profession. Acquire the skills you need at our professionally-instructed training events and advance your career with the globally preferred designation, the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE).

The Mid-South ACFE Chapter is run by volunteers. We typically try and respond to emails between 3 to 5 business days, and you may get a response sooner if possible.

We have been advised that emails from the Chapter are being classified as spam. To ensure delivery of emails, please add 'president[at]midsouthacfe.com' and 'training[at]midsouthacfe.com' to your contacts list.

We are also transitioning to MailChimp for our event announcements regarding meetings and conferences, and will also be sending a periodic newsletter as well.
