CFE – Fraud Prevention and Deterrence — Question 3

During a fraud risk assessment, the assessment team determines that it would like to observe the interactions among several employees as they collectively discuss the organization’s current fraud awareness training. Which of the following techniques would be most helpful for the team to use in gathering this information?

Answer options

• A. Interviews
• B. Focus groups
• C. Surveys
• D. Anonymous feedback mechanisms

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because anonymous feedback mechanisms allow employees to express their thoughts freely without fear of repercussions, leading to more honest insights on fraud awareness. While interviews, focus groups, and surveys can provide valuable information, they may not capture the same level of candidness or group dynamics present during discussions.
