At least 3 paragraphs long with 3 peer-reviewed references.

As part of your research review the requirements for becoming a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE).  Both your text and the Fraud Examiners Manual note that a CFE needs a basic understanding of accounting standards. Do you think Fraud Examiners should have higher level accounting skills beyond the basic skills?  Should Fraud Examiners have any additional qualification not currently required (e.g.,. specific technology skills, psychology, criminolgy knowledge)? Be sure to provide examples to back up your opinion and use authoritative sources (e.g., peer reviewed articles from the library, Fraud Examiners Manual).
