CFE – Fraud Prevention and Deterrence — Question 28

A report by a fraud examiner may be privileged from disclosure in certain circumstances, but it does not have an absolute legal privilege.

Answer options

• A. True
• B. False

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because while there are circumstances in which a fraud examiner's report can be protected from disclosure, it is not granted an absolute legal privilege, meaning there are instances where it could still be disclosed. Option A is incorrect as it implies an unconditional protection, which does not exist.
