Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) — Question 13

Perceived certainty of detection is directly related to employee theft for respondents in all industry sectors, that is the stronger the perception that theft would be detected, the more the likelihood that the employee would engage in deviant behavior.

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The statement is false because a stronger belief in detection typically reduces the likelihood of employee theft. When employees feel certain that their actions will be monitored and detected, they are less inclined to engage in deviant behavior, contradicting the original premise.
