Borrowing small amounts? Seems harmless to me.

I’m torn between C and D. I can see how all these signs might indicate fraud, but I’m not confident about choosing "All of these."

Replying with unreasonable explanations sounds familiar; I feel like we discussed that in class as a sign of potential fraud.

I remember a practice question about how criticism can be a tactic to deflect attention. Option B seems relevant to that.

I think borrowing small amounts from coworkers could be a red flag, but I'm not sure if it’s the main indicator of fraud.

I'm pretty sure the answer is False. The organization itself is primarily responsible for establishing anti-fraud controls, not the auditor.

A writ of certiorari sounds familiar, but I feel like that has to do with higher courts reviewing decisions, not gathering evidence.

I'm a little unsure about this one. Breaks could be related to activities or contracts, but I'm not totally confident. I'll have to make an educated guess.

Ah, I think I've got it. The key constraint is that the BPMN process must be in the same project as the case. That makes sense.
