Fraud examiners, investigators, and analysts will continue to be needed to help identify and solve cases of fraud and recommend methods for fraud prevention. The U.S. Department of Labor predicts that employment in business and financial operations occupations will grow faster than the average for all careers through 2033. Job opportunities for private detectives and investigators—who work closely with and may include fraud examiners, investigators, and analysts—is expected to have 5 percent employment growth through 2033, which is as fast as the average. Employment of accountants and auditors is projected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through 2033.
There will always be people looking to commit fraud and other crimes, and companies will need the expertise of examiners, investigators, and analysts to help them gather and analyze evidence and, if needed, testify in court hearings for fraud cases. Fraud examiners with certification, prior work experience, and strong software skills will have the best job prospects.
