In 2010, the inaugural JFVP forensic accounting lab was held at Gonzaga University. Since that time, students have worked in teams under the supervision of anti-fraud professionals and law enforcement to assist financial fraud victims in cases where a full forensic accounting investigation would otherwise be too costly and time consuming.

In 2023, the Justice for Fraud Victims Project (JFVP) was established through a partnership between UMD Smith, the Prince George’s County Financial Crimes Unit, and the State’s Attorney’s Office. The initiative involves students in the examination of financial fraud cases, focusing on protecting vulnerable groups, in cooperation with local law enforcement personnel.

Siena College’s Center for Anti-fraud Resources and Examination Services (CARES) is a community-engaged, interdisciplinary collaboration between the School of Business and the School of Liberal Arts as part of the Criminal Justice Studies Forensics Track.  The faculty and students involved with CARES offer pro bono fraud prevention and financial crime investigation services to small businesses, nonprofits, and vulnerable individuals who might not otherwise be able to afford such services.
