D is fine, it's just stating what happened.

I practiced a similar question where the emphasis was on how to report findings accurately. I think option C is safe because it aligns with the evidence.

I feel like saying Dean is guilty in option B could be an issue since guilt is usually determined in court, not by us.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember a practice question about how we should present findings without bias.

I think option A might be the one that violates the ethics code because it contradicts the evidence.

I'm pretty confident on this one. The code requires us to be objective and avoid making conclusive judgments, so the correct answer is B. Stating that Dean is guilty goes against the ethical principles.

Okay, I've got this. The code says we can't make definitive statements about guilt or innocence, so I think the answer is B. "Dean is guilty of embezzlement" would be a violation.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not totally sure about the ACFE code, so I'll have to think this through carefully. Maybe I should review the code before answering.

This question is testing our understanding of the ACFE Code of Professional Ethics. I think the key is to identify which statement would violate the code, rather than just stating the facts of the case.

Option D is the correct answer. Rosie should not have disclosed the details of Dean's confession, even if it's true.
