The ACFE has a detailed procedure for handling formal complaints received against a Certified Fraud Examiner, Associate Member, or member in any other membership category. The Board of Regents has full authority and discretion to take disciplinary action in regards to complaints investigated and evaluated by the Board of Review and the General Counsel.

Persons wishing to file a grievance against a member of ACFE may do so by sending a written statement of their complaint to the attention of Jacob Parks, ACFE Associate General Counsel, who is responsible for investigating disciplinary complaints. There is no specific form the complaint must take; a letter or email is fine. The complainant should include a full explanation of the alleged misconduct along with any documentary evidence he or she may have to support the allegations. Mr. Parks's email address is jparks@ACFE.com. His mailing address is:
