CFE – Investigation — Question 82

Which of the following questions would be MOST EFFECTIVE when establishing a baseline during an interview?

Answer options

• A. "Do you know what the punishment is for violations like this?"
• B. "How many jobs have you had before this one?"
• C. "Did you commit any misconduct against the company?"
• D. "Do you know who might have defrauded the company?"

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is the most effective as it directly addresses the conduct of the interviewee, which is essential for establishing a baseline. The other options either focus on irrelevant information, such as job history or potential punishment, or on speculation about others' actions, which does not help in assessing the interviewee's own behavior.
