The correct answer is C. The CFE Manual states that the UK Bribery Act has a broader application than the FCPA because it reaches commercial bribery, meaning bribery in the private sector, not just bribery involving foreign public officials. The Manual specifically explains that, unlike the FCPA, the UK Bribery Act includes a general commercial bribery offense and also creates a corporate offense for failure to prevent bribery.
Option A is incorrect because the UK Bribery Act does not contain the same kind of explicit exception for facilitating payments associated with the FCPA framework. Option B is also incorrect because the Manual expressly notes that an anti-corruption program sufficient for FCPA compliance might still be insufficient for UK Bribery Act compliance due to the broader scope of the UK law. Option D is incorrect because both the FCPA and the UK Bribery Act criminalize bribery of foreign public officials in connection with international business transactions; that is not a point of difference. Therefore, the most accurate statement is C, because the UK Bribery Act goes further by criminalizing bribery in the private sector as well.

Admission-seeking questions are used when the examiner has a reasonable basis to believe the subject committed the act and wants to obtain a legal admission of wrongdoing. The most effective question is one that assumes the conduct occurred and encourages the subject to explain it, rather than merely deny it. Option D is strongest because it directly focuses on Harsha's conduct and is phrased as though the personal purchases have already been established. Options A and C are informational questions, not admission-seeking questions. Option B is a closed yes-or-no question and uses accusatory wording that can encourage a denial. In admission-seeking interviews, the examiner should use disciplined phrasing designed to move the subject toward explanation and admission.
