About Our Chapter

Established in 1992, the Tampa Bay Chapter of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) is a vibrant community of professionals dedicated to the prevention, detection, and deterrence of fraud. From our founding membership of just 12 individuals, we have grown to a network of more than 200 professionals throughout the Tampa Bay area, united by a shared commitment to advancing the anti-fraud profession.

Our chapter brings together professionals from diverse backgrounds, including fraud examination, investigations, accounting, compliance, law enforcement, and risk management. Through quality continuing professional education, networking events, mentorship, and community outreach, we provide opportunities for members to expand their knowledge, develop meaningful professional relationships, and stay informed on emerging fraud risks and trends.

Recognized as the 2016 ACFE Chapter of the Year, we take pride in our longstanding tradition of professional excellence, collaboration, and community engagement. Whether you are an experienced anti-fraud professional or just beginning your career, our chapter offers a welcoming environment to learn, connect, lead, and contribute to the collective fight against fraud.
