I feel like I read something about how CFEs must remain independent, so I guess Jane has to stick to her findings and not say there's no fraud.

I remember discussing how the ACFE Code of Professional Ethics emphasizes integrity and objectivity, so I think Jane can't comply with that request.

Ah, I see. Jane can't just state the company is free of fraud if her examination didn't conclusively prove that. That would be misleading, which goes against the ethics code. The answer has to be True.

I'm a bit confused here. If Jane's examination didn't find any conclusive evidence of fraud, why can't she just state that the company is free of fraud? Seems like a reasonable request from management.
