Mark Weber, Managing Partner of DARTON GROUP, said “ACFE is the world’s largest anti-fraud organization and DARTON GROUP admires the group’s commitment to proactively fight fraud with training and education. ACFE’s mission ultimately safeguards businesses and investments from this growing issue”.
ACFE President James D. Ratley, CFE, said that the support of organizations around the world helps make Fraud Week an effective tool in raising anti-fraud awareness. “Fraud continues to be a serious problem, and the state of our economy requires all organizations to be even more vigilant,” Ratley said. “Once again, we want to say ‘thank you’ to all of the Fraud Awareness Week supporters for helping to shine a spotlight on the urgent need for fraud prevention and detection.”
During Fraud Awareness Week, Official Supporters will engage in various activities in support of the anti-fraud movement.
