ACFE Sydney – Mentoring Program

Dear Members,

The ACFE Sydney Chapter Mentoring Program is seeking volunteer CFE’s to be Mentors. Your guidance of our future CFE’s gives them a unique opportunity to either assist those who wish to enter a career in the anti-fraud industry or those who are in the industry but wish to enhance their careers and capabilities. The Mentorship Program is designed to provide an environment and framework to discuss challenges and issues relating to a career in anti-fraud. It also provides mentees with the opportunity to build closer relationships with more experienced ACFE members and a stronger association with the ACFE itself.

The benefits of the ACFE Mentoring Program include:

ACFE Care

• •  About our mentees in their development towards a CFE career

• • About giving opportunities to grow as individuals

• • About giving opportunities to develop career skills and capabilities

Being an ACFE mentor

• • Impart wisdom of past experience

• • Often it is the little things or details that matter

• • Often just listening can make a difference

Connecting

• •  We get much more than we give

• • Gives mentors an understanding of ‘real world’ mentee concerns

• • Engender: confidence in mentees and belief in themselves

The ACFE Mentoring program reinforces the responsibility and the benefits in connecting and staying connected with our potential CFE’s as they take opportunities and grow as individuals in their chosen CFE career paths.
