Javier, a fraud examiner, is investigating an alleged embezzlement scheme at a local manufacturer. Which of the following steps should Javier take to prepare for the interview phase of his investigation?
Before beginning the interview phase, Javier should review the case file to ensure that the interview plan is not missing important information. Proper interview preparation requires a clear understanding of the case facts, the interview's purpose, the information expected from each witness, and the best strategy for obtaining that information. Option B is incorrect because the examiner should determine the purpose of the interview in advance. Option C is too rigid because the most appropriate interviewer should be selected based on the specific interview and witness. Option D is also incorrect because although the setting should be comfortable and secure, it should not be overly familiar to the subject, such as the subject's home or office.
