The Uniform Examination for Certified Fraud Examiners
The Examination's purpose is to establish a reliable testing instrument that adequately assesses the level of competence needed to become a Certified Fraud Examiner. The testing procedure is unique in that the Examination is administered entirely by computer. The Examination has sophisticated controls to ensure the integrity of the process. All Exam questions are randomly generated from a master database. No two Exams are alike.
Upon meeting the admission requirements, the candidate may request the Examination from the Association. The candidate receives a set of diskettes containing the Exam and instructions.
Once the Exam is installed on the candidate's computer, the candidate has 30 days to complete all four sections and return the disks for grading. Each exam section is 2.5 hours in length. The total Exam is 10 hours. Initially, the candidate must take all four parts. If every section is not successfully passed, the candidate has a maximum of three consecutive sittings to pass the remaining parts. If not successful after the third repetition, credit for any passed parts is lost.
Candidates repeating portions of the Examination also have 30 days in which to complete the repeated portions. The computerized Examination requires either: an IBM compatible computer, MSDOS 3.1 or higher and a minimum of 640k of ram and 4MB hard disk space; or a Macintosh Plus or higher with at least 1 MB of ram, System 4.2 and Finder 6.0 or higher, and 6 MB of hard disk space.
