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.

Upcoming Training:

Forensic Interviewing
P.E.A.C.E. Seminar

The PEACE method of investigative interviewing is a five stage process in which interviewers try to build rapport and allow a interviewee 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 interviewer and interviewee" 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.
