The Fraud Examiners Manual and CFE Prep Guide explain that tracing loan proceeds is a key investigative tool, but its scope is limited. Specifically, it helps determine:
* if proceeds were deposited into hidden accounts,
* if hidden accounts were used for loan payments, and
* if loans were secured by hidden assets or unknown witnesses.
However, the manuals do not state that tracing loan proceeds can identify internal control weaknesses. That is a different aspect of fraud examination, often addressed through audit procedures or control assessments.
Thus, optionDis NOT true.

The recommended questioning order is:
"As a general rule, questioning should proceed from the general to the specific; that is, it is best to seek general information before seeking details".
This ensures the respondent provides a free narrative before narrowing down to specifics.

Admission-seeking interviews are designed:
"to obtain a legal admission of wrongdoing... also to distinguish innocent individuals from culpable ones and to secure a signed written statement".
The primary purpose is obtaining a valid confession.

The Fraud Examiners Manual advises:
"Do not slow down the interview process for note-taking. Instead, jot down key words ... In general, it is better to err on the side of taking too few notes rather than too many." Therefore, the best practice is C.

Best practices for admission-seeking interviews emphasize building rapport, presenting a morally acceptable reason, and maintaining empathy to encourage a confession. The manual states examiners should "present a morally acceptable reason for the suspect's behavior" and avoid creating hostility . Minimizing empathy is counterproductive and not recommended.
