I thought he could at least suggest improvements.

False, he can still mention deficiencies without calling it fraud.

Totally agree, that's how the ethics code works.

I believe it's false. The CFE can still highlight control deficiencies in a report, but maybe not in a way that implies fraud was present.

I feel like this is a tricky one. If he didn't find fraud, does that mean he can't comment at all? I need to review the ethics section again.

I'm not so sure about that. I remember a practice question where the CFE could provide recommendations if they found deficiencies, even without fraud.

I think it's true that Black can't express his opinion on the controls since he didn't find fraud. It seems like a strict rule in the ethics code.

This question seems straightforward - I think the key is to focus on the requirements for corporate criminal liability. I'll review the options carefully and choose the one that best matches the typical criteria.

I'm a little confused - is the Backup and Restore tool also an option? I want to make sure I don't lose any important files.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. I'll need to review my notes on information security policies and procedures to determine the best approach.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. The options all seem plausible, but I'm not confident which one would be considered the "first filter." I'll have to think this through carefully.
