Toronto, ON: The ACFE-GTA Chapter  is pleased to announce that we have been invited by the club executive to speak at the school year kick-off event of the Future Business Leaders of Canada Club at Bayview Secondary School (Richmond Hill, Ontario) in October.

Future Business Leaders of Canada is the largest student business organization in Canada. FBLC members are self-motivated, high-achieving leaders who network with like-minded peers, earn international recognition, attend exciting conferences, and learn how to excel in the business world. The FBLC's annual event, the Canadian National Leadership Conference, brings together students from across the country to compete, network and learn. There are over 150 active FBLC clubs across Canada with approximately 2,000 active members.

The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE)is the world's largest anti-fraud organization. Together with more than 95,000 members, the ACFE works to reduce business fraud, and other financial crime worldwide as well as inspire public confidence in the integrity and objectivity within the profession. By delivering best-in-class training, offering the CFE credential, and fostering a dynamic, global community of anti-fraud professionals, the ACFE is reducing fraud, corruption, and other financial crime worldwide, and assisting the membership in its detection and deterrence.
