International Fraud Awareness Week: 2026

The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, South Africa Chapter (ACFE SA) is fired up to host this year’s International Fraud Awareness Week (IFAW) — a global movement that ignites awareness, action and accountability in the fight against fraud and corruption. Fraud Awareness Week is more than an event, it’s a call to action.

Together, we’re turning up the heat on fraudsters, strengthening our defences, and building a culture of integrity across every industry. This year, our ACFE SA Regional Committees will host a series of events nationwide, each designed to inform, inspire and equip professionals with practical tools to detect, prevent and combat fraud. Expect thought-provoking speakers, powerful discussions, and hands-on insights into today’s most pressing anti-fraud challenges.

We’re also calling on companies and individuals to join the movement. Launch your own fraud awareness campaigns, spark conversations and show your commitment to a fraud-free future. For those ready to make an even bigger impact, our sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities offer the perfect platform to position your organisation as a champion for ethics and accountability. Got a custom idea or unique sponsorship concept? We’re all ears — contact our Professionalisation Officer at anita@acfesa.co.za to explore tailored options. This Fraud Week, let’s unite, take a stand, and LET FRAUD BURN!
