Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ansaar

(President IFE)
PHD, CFIA (CANADA)

Dear Forensic Expert,

In recent decade, Dr. Muhammad Ansaar, Ph.D, CFIA (Canada), CFE (Pak), iden fied a cri cal gap in the educa on and
professional development of business, government and law enforcement personnel: no one was training individuals in
the specialized skill set needed to fight, detect, and prevent fraud.

The expedi on to fill this need led Dr. Ansaar to form what is now the Ins tute of Forensic Experts (IFE) licensed and
Incorporated by SEC, Pakistan, and the Pakistan's emerging an -fraud organiza on.

The goal of IFE is: to support an -fraud professionals like you in preven ng, detec ng fraud through cer fica on,
workshops, seminars, conferences. IFE members represent a professional community of individuals from the private and
public sectors and organiza ons of all sizes. They range in responsibili es from entry-level fraud inves gators to top-level
execu ves, from accountants to IT and risk management professionals. What brings them all together is the shared goal of
preven ng and detec ng fraud.

Members receive the latest in an -fraud educa on, enjoy savings on events and training, and have access to resources.
One of the biggest benefits of joining the IFE is a benefit I personally find valuable:
As I men oned before, we are here to support you and give you everything you need to take your fight against fraud to the
next level.

Sincerely,
Dr. Muhammad Ansaar
