A fraud examiner believes that a suspect might have used illicit funds to construct a commercial building to fit a restaurant. Which of the following records would be the MOST helpful in confirming the owner of the building?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

To confirm ownership of a building, real estate and permit records are most useful. The Manual notes that real property records and related permits identify the owner, provide legal descriptions, and show improvements such as construction of commercial buildings. Court or voter registration records would not typically establish property ownership.

I feel like voter registration records wouldn't be relevant here, but I can't recall why exactly.

Local court records might help too, especially if there were any disputes or liens related to the property.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about commercial filings being important for ownership verification in similar cases.

I think building permit records could be really useful since they usually list the owner and the purpose of the construction.
