I wonder if Erica should also consider whether Justine will confess. That seems like a big factor, but I can't recall if it was emphasized in our studies.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about needing to confirm if no other person was involved in the fraud. That could impact the interview strategy.

I'm not sure about this one. There are a lot of factors to consider, like whether Justine's employer will get involved or if there are any other accomplices. I think I'll need to review my notes on conducting fraud interviews before I can decide on the best approach.

I feel pretty confident about this one. Option C seems like the best choice - we need to make sure we can control the interview setting and content. That will give us the best chance of getting the information we need, regardless of whether Justine confesses or not.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Do we really need to be sure Justine will confess? Shouldn't we focus more on gathering solid evidence and being prepared for any potential response from her? I'm not sure the confession is the most important thing here.

This question seems straightforward - we need to make sure we have control over the interview setting and that Justine is the only one involved in the fraud. Confessing is not a guarantee, but controlling the environment is key.
