Question 171

Misty, a fraud investigator, is interviewing Larry, who she suspects has been embezzling company funds.
Which of the following is NOT a recommended sequence in which Misty should ask Lam/ questions?

Correct Answer: A
"As a general rule, questioning should proceed from the general to the specific; it is best to seek general information before details. A variation... is to begin with known information and work towards unknown areas"#9:2014 International Fraud Examiners Manual.pdf L39-L51#.
Random order is not recommended and breaks the logical flow.

Question 172

Which of the following statements about the limitations of using online databases for public record searches is MOST ACCURATE?

Correct Answer: B
CFE investigative guidance recognizes online databases as valuable tools for locating public records quickly, but it also highlights practical limitations. The most significant limitation is that availability and coverage differ widely by jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions provide extensive online access to court files, property records, corporate registrations, and liens, while others provide limited access, partial indexing, or require in- person requests. This variability affects completeness and can create false negatives (records exist but are not available electronically). The guidance also cautions that online results may be abstracts, may not include supporting documentation, and can lag behind official updates-so investigators should verify key records with the originating agency when accuracy and completeness matter. Option A is not the primary limitation described; the more common problem is incomplete access rather than excessive detail. Option C is too absolute; errors can occur, but CFE methodology emphasizes validation, not the claim that records are "rarely correct." Option D is also overstated; while source credibility matters, the fundamental limitation is uneven jurisdictional availability and completeness.

Question 173

Virgil is a Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) who works for Q-22 Inc., a private company. Virgil suspects that Florence, a Q-22 employee, has been submitting fraudulent expense claims. Virgil plans to conduct an internal investigation into the alleged fraud. Based on these facts, which of the following statements is MOST ACCURATE?

Correct Answer: C
Employees generally have a duty to cooperate with reasonable workplace investigations arising from the employer-employee relationship. The Fraud Examiners Manual explains that this duty commonly extends to internal investigations, provided that the employer's requests are reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Florence is an employee of Q-22, and Virgil is conducting a private internal investigation into suspected fraudulent expense claims. Therefore, Florence likely must cooperate with reasonable interview requests, document requests, or other investigative steps related to her duties.
Option B is too broad because employees are not required to comply with unreasonable demands.
Options A and D incorrectly suggest that private-company status eliminates the duty to cooperate.

Question 174

Abigail, a fraud examiner at a private company, is investigating a coworker named Coraline who is suspected of committing an electronic payment tampering scheme. During the investigation, Abigail finds credible evidence that Coraline is having an affair with a married coworker and tells several colleagues. Coraline discovers that Abigail has revealed this true, but very unflattering, information about her and decides to file a claim of defamation against Abigail. Which of the following explanations BEST describes why Coraline will not win her defamation case?

Correct Answer: C
Defamation generally requires an untrue statement of fact that is communicated to a third party, made on an unprivileged occasion, and damaging to the subject's reputation. Coraline's claim fails because the information Abigail communicated was true. Truth is a complete defense to defamation in many jurisdictions because defamation protects against false reputational harm, not merely embarrassing disclosure of accurate information. Abigail's conduct might still create confidentiality, privacy, or workplace issues, but the question asks specifically about defamation. Option A is not a defense because the existence of an investigation does not automatically allow reputational statements. Option B might apply in some cases, but the facts do not establish privilege. Option D is wrong because communication to colleagues is still publication to third parties.

Question 175

Which of the following is INCORRECT with regard to locating individuals using online records?

Correct Answer: B
"When searching for an individual, the fraud examiner should obtain a past address of the subject, and search activities should begin with that information".
Therefore, saying a past address is "of no help" is incorrect.
