I thought starting with unknown information was a good tactic, but it seems risky if she gets defensive right away.

I feel like asking in random order might confuse her, but I can't recall if that's ever recommended.

I think starting with specific questions makes sense, but I'm not sure if that's the best approach for an interview like this.

I've got a good feeling about this one. The recommended approach is to start broad and then narrow down to the specific details. That way you can build rapport and get the full story from the suspect.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Should the questions start with the unknown information and move towards the known? Or is it better to go from specific to general? I'll have to review my notes on investigative techniques.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully. Is there a specific technique that's best for fraud interviews?

Wait, I'm confused. I thought WBS elements were also used in activity-based costing, but now I'm second-guessing myself. I better review my notes before answering this one.

I'll have to go with C on this one. Specific to general is the way to go - keeps the suspect on their toes and you in control. Plus, it's the most logical approach, unlike trying to 'bamboozle' the suspect with random questions. Not that I've ever tried that, of course!

D sounds like the way to go. Gotta get that general information first, then dig into the specifics. Kinda like peeling an onion, you know?

B seems like a good strategy to me. Keeping the questions random can throw off the suspect and prevent them from anticipating the next question.
