Q & A with Sebastian Adejumo, CFE

Sebastian Adejumo, Clarksburg of MD, recently became a CFE after attending the CFE Exam Review Course in Austin, TX. When Sebastian is not working, he enjoys hanging out with friends and family. But this past November, Sebastian put sometime aside to accomplish his goal of obtaining the CFE credential. As an auditor, he feels the credential exposes him to different fraud risk assessment options and provides the skill set to identify and mitigate fraud.

Coach: When did you receive your CFE credential?
Adejumo: I was certified on November 29, 2017.

Coach: You attended the CFE Exam Review Course in Austin and, following the course, you sat for the CFE Exam on-site. Please describe your experience of participating in the four-day course and then sitting for the exam immediately after.
Adejumo: It was a great opportunity to review topics that I had already studied in the Prep Course. It was also helpful to discuss topics with other participants, as well as instructors with real life experiences in a classroom setting.

Adejumo: The opportunity to ask questions and discuss topics with instructors and other participants.

Coach:  In what ways do you feel that your new CFE credential will be beneficial to you in your current profession?
Adejumo: As an auditor, the credential exposes me to different fraud risk assessment options and also provides the skill set to identify and mitigate fraud.

Coach: How did you prepare yourself to sit for the exam on-site? Did you spend any additional time studying after class each day?
Adejumo: I spent time reviewing the section the prior day before each class. I took as many practice questions as possible. I asked questions during the class. I took the exam immediately after the class.

Coach: Would you recommend this course to your colleagues?
Adejumo: I will definitely recommend this course to my colleagues.

Coach: How did you become passionate about fighting fraud?
Adejumo: I am a CPA who works as an internal auditor, and lately there has been increased focus on fraudulent activity in my industry. This credential further equips me to add value to that fight.

Coach: Now that we know what you do professionally, what do you like to do for fun and what do you find enjoyable about it?
Adejumo: Traveling, spending time with family, hanging out with friends.

Coach: Do you have any study tips or suggestions for aspiring CFEs?
