Question

When investigating fraud, investigators should usually interview suspects: a. any time during the investigation process to avoid creating undue stress and suspicion among other employees. b. at the beginning of the investigation process to really put the heat on them. c. in the middle of the investigation process to make them feel that they are not really a suspect. d. at the end of the investigation process so that they can gather sufficient evidence against them.

Answer 1

Answer:

any time during the investigation process to avoid creating undue stress and suspicion among other employees.

Explanation:

A fraud occurs when an individual takes undue advantage of another individual or organisation to obtain something of value.

When a fraud occurs investigators interview people that can provide insight into what really happened so that they can trace the fraud.

Fraud interviews are not conducted at a particular time such as at the beginning, middle, or end of the investigation process. This will cause stress among the employees.

Rather it is best to spread out interviews to anytime during the interview process. This reduces stress of handling all questions at once, and also is done to avoid suspicion among other employees.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "A": any time during the investigation process to avoid creating undue stress and suspicion among other employees.

Explanation:

Every company must have a system to detect fraud. By this, entities will avoid incurring in relevant losses and eliminate bad practices that could damage the corporate culture. During the investigation process, the individual in charge of conducting the research should question the suspect at any time, in as many different situations as necessary to clarify the scenario.  

That individual should follow a schedule for the investigation to have a set steps defined on what is going to be done but to avoid suspicion among other employees, the worker presumed guilty must be questioned at any moment during the investigation.
