I’m surprised that A isn’t prohibited, seems like a gray area.

Wait, is it really okay to act unethically as long as it's not explicitly stated?

I think C should be prohibited, conflicts of interest are a big deal!

B is definitely allowed, it's just drawing conclusions.

I think engaging in illegal behavior is definitely prohibited, so that one seems straightforward. I'm leaning towards A or C for the answer.

Drawing conclusions based on evidence seems like a fundamental part of our work, so I doubt that's prohibited. But I could be wrong!

I feel like we had a practice question about conflicts of interest, and I remember that they are definitely frowned upon. So maybe C is the answer?

I think I remember that the ACFE Code emphasizes integrity, but I'm not sure if acting in a way that could be deemed unethical is explicitly prohibited.

Participating in an activity with an undisclosed conflict of interest seems like the most likely answer that is not explicitly prohibited. I'll go with that.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I'll need to re-read the question and think it through carefully before making a decision.

I'm pretty sure engaging in behavior that is against the law would be prohibited, so I'm going to rule that out.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'll need to carefully review the ACFE Code of Professional Ethics to see what is explicitly prohibited.

I'm gonna go with Option A. Acting unethically is pretty much the opposite of what the ACFE code is all about. Gotta keep it professional, you know?

Haha, Option D is a classic! Engaging in illegal behavior, really? That's just common sense, not something that needs to be explicitly prohibited.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Option C sounds like it could be a trap. You can't have any undisclosed conflicts of interest, that's a big no-no.

Option B seems like the obvious choice here. Drawing conclusions based on evidence is what we're supposed to do as fraud examiners.
