The Certified Fraud Examiners Course was presented by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) Philippine Chapter with the cooperative efforts of the Commission on Audit (COA), Office of the Ombudsman (OMB) and Department of Justice (DOJ), and with the generous supports of the United States Agency International Development (USAID) at the COA Professional Development Center Auditorium.

Over fifty participants from the Commission on Audit, Office of the Ombudsman and Department of Justice have successfully completed the course. They are now considered as the first batch of “fraud fighters” in the government sector.
