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).

P.E.A.C.E. Conference & Training

The PEACE method of investigative interviewing is a five stage process in which investigators try to build rapport and allow a criminal suspect to provide their account of events uninterrupted, before presenting the suspect with any evidence of inconsistencies or contradictions. It is used to obtain a full account of events from a suspect rather than just seeking a confession.

The PEACE method, which "encourages more of a dialogue between investigator and suspect" was developed in Britain in response to the realization that psychologically coercive techniques often led to false confessions.

Join the Mid-South ACFE Chapter as we hold a three-day training from March 17 through March 19, 2026.

The training will be conducted by Shawn Phillips, our Training Director, who is certified to provide this training.

This training will provide you with 24 hours of CPE, including 6 hours of ethics.

The training will be provided at Bartlett Police Departments new training facility located on Appling Road.

Space is limited to 50 attendees.
