Dear Student,

Becoming a Fraud Investigator is a step by step process.

Steps to Become a Fraud Investigator

A minimum of a high school diploma or equivalent is generally needed to become a fraud investigator. Individuals who have earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice, economic crime, fraud management, accounting, law, or business administration are typically the most sought-after and highly-qualified candidates. Some states require licensure of fraud examiners while continuing education is mandatory in other states. While the specifics of the hiring process will depend on the job, prospective fraud investigators can usually count on steps similar to the following:

• Attend a degree program and/or gain experience in a related field.*
• Apply for an open position as a fraud investigator.
• Attend an interview session.
• Successfully complete a physical examination, drug test, polygraph exam, and background investigation.
• Get hired as a fraud investigator.
• Get on-the-job training as a fraud investigator.
