Option D seems plausible since it includes theft of incoming checks, but I wonder if check-for-currency substitutions are really a common tactic.

I feel like understated sales are definitely involved in skimming schemes, but I can't recall if it's with theft of checks or something else.

Okay, I've got it. The key is to identify the specific methods used in a short-term skimming scheme, which typically involve understating sales, stealing incoming checks, and substituting checks for cash. I'll go with D.

I'm a bit confused by the options. Are unrecorded sales and false company accounts the same thing? And what exactly is a "dual endorsement" in this context? I'll need to think this through carefully.

D looks good, but I'm a bit confused about the 'theft of incoming checks' part. Isn't that just a subset of the 'unrecorded sales' in A?
