"As a general rule, questioning should proceed from the general to the specific; it is best to seek general information before details. A variation... is to begin with known information and work towards unknown areas"#9:2014 International Fraud Examiners Manual.pdf L39-L51#.
Random order isnot recommendedand breaks the logical flow.

When preparing to interview subjects across jurisdictions, fraud examiners must consider bothlegal rightsandcultural differences. The Manual advises examiners to:
* Researchlocal lawsgoverning the right to counsel during interviews.
* Understand cultural norms (e.g., greetings, eye contact).Failing to observe these can damage credibility.
Thus, it is most accurate that an examiner must determine whether the subject can legally insist on a lawyer's presence .

When a witness resists an interview with "I'm too busy," CFE interview guidance treats this as a common barrier that may conceal other causes-reluctance, discomfort, ego concerns, or simply a desire to avoid involvement. The recommended approach is to reduce resistance by emphasizing cooperation, importance, and minimal burden: communicate that the witness's help is needed, the interview will be brief, and it will not be difficult. Option D directly reflects these recommended diffusion techniques by stressing both the importance of the witness's assistance and the short duration of the meeting, which lowers the perceived cost of participation. Option A is inappropriate and potentially coercive, may exceed the examiner's authority, and can create hostility or claims of intimidation-undermining credibility and reliability of information obtained.
Option C is confrontational and escalates resistance without advancing the interview. Option B can be helpful as a scheduling accommodation, but CFE guidance for this specific resistance phrase prioritizes overcoming the objection by reassuring brevity and importance, making D the best answer among the options.

The 2014 International Fraud Examiners Manual and CFE Prep - Investigations explicitly state:
"Like some printers, copiers and other multifunction machines might have internal storage devices that store relevant data. In fact, almost every copier built since 2002 has a hard drive that stores images of documents the machines have copied, scanned, or emailed. Some copiers store user access records and a history of copies made. ... when seizing a computer for forensic analysis, it is generally necessary to seize any copiers and scanners connected to it." Thus, the correct answer is C.

The2014 International Fraud Examiners Manualprovides:
"Fraud examiners can use a correlation analysis to determine the relationships between different variables in raw data... For example, there should be a strong correlation between the independent and dependent variables because there is a direct relationship between them.Hotel costs should increase as the number of days travelled increases." CFE Prep - Investigationsechoes this:
"Using the correlation analysis function, fraud examiners can determine the relationships between different variables in the raw data. For example...Hotel costs should increase as the number of days travelled increases." Thus, the most useful analysis isCorrelation analysis.
