Fraud examiners conduct fraud examinations to determine if fraud has occurred and if so to gather evidence of the crime. 

Fraud examiners are as good with people as they are with numbers and are inclined to be aggressive rather than shy.  Fraud Examiners understand what constitutes fraud, which includes practical knowledge of the legal system and concepts such as the elements of the offense, what constitutes proof, intent and completeness of evidence.

Fraud examiners are also known as financial detectives.  Many fraud examiners are forensic accountants and have years of experience examining evidence, asking hard questions and seeking the truth.
