All of the following are basic methods used to prove corrupt payments in corruption schemes EXCEPT:

Answer options

• A. Secretly infiltrating ongoing transactions
• B. Making inquiries of the relevant Administration of Taxation
• C. Identifying and tracing payments through audit steps
• D. Turning an inside witness

Correct answer: B
