The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners today announced they have selected Yours Truly as the recipient of this year’s “Guardian Award,” an honor given annually to a journalist “whose determination, perseverance, and commitment to the truth have contributed significantly to the fight against fraud.” The Guardian Award bears the inscription “For Vigilance in Fraud Reporting.” Previous honorees include former Washington Post investigative reporter and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Susan Schmidt ; Diana Henriques , a New York Times  contributing writer and author of The Wizard of Lies  (a book about Bernie Madoff); and Allan Dodds Frank , a regular contributor to Fortune.com and The Daily Beast . I’d like to thank the ACFE for this prestigious award, and offer a special note of thanks to all of you dear readers who continue to support my work as an independent journalist.
