Answer 1

Answer:

A). Rationalizing is unnecessary when there are multiple opportunities present to commit fraud.

Explanation:

Rationalization is demonstrated as the process in which a firm or company reorganizes or restructures its size, strategy, or policy in order to promote an improved operational efficiency and effectiveness.

As per the question, option A i.e. 'rationalizing is unnecessary when there are multiple opportunities present to commit fraud' is the statement that asserts a false claim about rationalization. If there are loopholes in an organization which might result in frauds rationalization would rather assist in lowering the scope for such frauds and enhance the efficiency of the firm/organization. Thus, option A is the correct answer.
