Forensic Accounting Board Resigns

All members of the American Board of Forensic Accounting, the advisory board behind the American College of Forensic Examiners Institute’s (ACFEI) Certified Forensic Accountant credential have recently resigned. The unanimous resignation comes amid questions about the legitimacy of the credential and the organization, as a whole.

According to accountingtoday.com, the board resigned en masse after learning from a third party that ACFEI founder, Dr. Robert O’Block, had been planning to secretly sell the organization. As a result, former board members have cancelled all future speaking engagements, including an ACFEI conference scheduled for May in Tulsa, OK.
