The ACFE Educator of the Year Award is presented to an educator who has made an outstanding contribution in the development of anti-fraud education.

For his work encouraging students to join the anti-fraud profession through education and mentoring, the ACFE is excited to present the Educator of the Year Award to Lawrence Hoffman.

The ACFE is strong because of its more than 190 chapters in 70 countries. Chapters act as local representatives of the ACFE, providing continued support for members worldwide. They allow members to connect and collaborate with other fraud fighters in their area, and to participate in local programs and events that promote awareness of the profession. Chapters help fraud fighters stay at the forefront of local anti-fraud issues and emerging trends.

Every year, the ACFE recognizes exceptional individuals for their contributions to the fight against fraud. These professionals provide an inspiration to others, and we are proud to honor them for their service. To kick off this year’s 31st Annual ACFE Virtual Global Fraud Conference coverage, we’ll be highlighting each of the ACFE’s 2020 award winners.
