It’s C. Pretty sure tips are the most cited in ACFE reports, not B which is a common trap on these questions.
Seriously wish these exams would stop mixing up 'most common' with 'most effective', just makes it confusing. Going with C, since every ACFE report I’ve seen puts tips way out front as the actual trigger for finding corruption. Internal controls and audits help, but most cases are uncovered because someone speaks up. Not 100% if all vendors use the same stats, though, so happy to hear other takes.
B , I've seen internal controls cited as the main detection method in some older guides. If the organization is really strict or has automated monitoring, internal controls could pick up irregularities first. But I admit most recent stats push C (tips) to the top, so maybe I'm splitting hairs here. Anyone else see variations on this depending on org size or reporting culture?
Honestly, B. Internal controls always seem like the primary system for catching this stuff, not just waiting for tips.
C tbh, tips have been the top detection method in every ACFE report I’ve read. Internal controls and audits help but most corruption cases first get spotted thanks to whistleblowing. Unless the question is twisting words, I’d stick with C. Open to correction if there’s a new trend.
Definitely seeing C as the right pick.
C , saw the same thing on some practice sets and tips always come up as the top answer for detection in corruption cases. B gets picked a lot but pretty sure C is what shows up most in ACFE reports.
C tbh, tips are reported way more frequently than audits or controls for detecting corruption cases. ACFE sources back this up too. If the question asked about prevention, then B might fit better but here it's C.
Its B
