Gearing up for Sept. 2026 CFE
Published October 10, 2025 by Michael Levi
It's now late 2026 and winter is approaching quickly. A common question among CFE candidates is: "What should I do between now and Capstone 1 to help me prepare for the CFE in September?" While there is no one right answer to this, there are definitely some productive actions that one could take during this time period. Let's look at some of the possibilities.Writing Modules/Challenge Exams in March – For those students who are still completing Modules or Challenge Exams until March 2026, the approach is simple. Prepare for the March exam and then immediately shift into practice case writing between April and mid May, when Capstone 1 starts. Start with writing a few Day 3 cases during that time, to ease your way into the case writing.
Students in Accredited/Diploma Program – As soon as you have finished your program you will want to make optimal use of your time before commencing Capstone 1. There are two key actions you should be taking:
(1) Review technical in areas that need beefing up (probably financial and management accounting). We have spoken to students who have taken accredited programs and we have found that the technical gaps in the accredited programs vary depending on the university. For example, one student told us that in her university program there was virtually no coverage of management accounting.
(2) Practice cases to get a head start on case writing.
For more info on preparing for the CFE, see our sample study plans. You will note that there are sample PASS study plans starting at different dates as different people may be pursuing different paths. For example, some students may only finish their module/challenge exams at the end of March. However, if you finished your accredited program or Module exams before that time you will want to get started earlier on on both case writing and technical studying for the CFE. At the end of the day, there are many different situations and students have to tailor their study approach to their individual situation.
So just to conclude, the golden rules that apply to everyone are:
1) Solid technical is necessary for case writing;
2) Practicing Multi cases before Capstone 1will definitely help come the summer time; and
3) Assume that you will not have any time in Capstone 1 to do anything outside of Capstone 1, so use the time leading up to Capstone 1 wisely!
