I fear that as a mere literature Ph.D. I'm probably underqualified--though I see that for $378 I can apply to the Global Academy of Financial Management and get, say, a Chartered Fraud Analyst certification, good for two years, thereafter renewable annually for another $228. I guess one is never too old for a certification. (Hey, look ma, I'm certifiable!)
