The Certified Fraud Examiner Credential
Awarded by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), the Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) credential is recognized worldwide as the highest benchmark for professional fraud investigators. Recipients earn the CFE credential by passing a rigorous course of studies and successfully challenging the CFE examination. CFE certification distinguishes the professional fraud investigator from the rest.
CFE certification is tough to get and tougher to keep. The ACFE requires that all CFEs obtain 20 hours of approved Continuing Professional Education (CPE) annually in order to remain in good standing. This requirement ensures that CFEs remain at the top of their field and stay abreast of the latest trends in prevention, detection, and investigation of fraud.
The Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist Credential
The Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS) awards the Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) designation to professionals who have succeeded in mastering the ACAMS curriculum and examination. CAMS certified compliance officers are sought the world over by firms that must comply with federal and international anti-money laundering laws and regulations.
Much like the ACFE, ACAMS requires that all CAMS successfully obtain 20 hours of approved CPE each year in order to retain certification.

Masters in Diplomacy
In 2010, Ken successfully completed the course of studies at Norwich University, Vermont, U.S.A. and obtained his Masters Degree in Diplomacy (Cum Laude). The program was beneficial to Ken because it exposed him to a number of competing theories of political power, conflict resolution, and post-conflict reconstruction. This academic perspective was tested in the field during Ken’s deployment with the Canadian Police Contingent to Afghanistan in 2011 and later during assignments with the United Nations in Africa.
