The theme reflects the work of the ACFE SA over the past 25 years to connect professionals and industries by means of creating fraud awareness in different fields of expertise.
Our members and delegates include professionals specialising in forensics, accounting, auditing, law, ethics, governance and more and we are all connected in that fraud and corruption have infiltrated these and other professional spaces. Our industry needs professionals who know how to act ethically, behave professionally and affect change.
