D seems off, how does not paying bonuses relate to opportunity?

I’m torn between A and B, but I think A might be more about motivation rather than opportunity. It’s tricky!

I feel like "B" is definitely about opportunity since it creates a chance for fraud, but I could see how others might argue differently.

I remember a practice question where bonuses influenced behavior, so I’m leaning towards option A, but I’m not confident.

I think "Duties are not properly segregated" might relate to perceived opportunity, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the best fit.

I feel like I know this concept, but I'm getting a bit mixed up trying to apply it to these scenarios. I think I'll go with B, but I'm not 100% certain that's the right call.

Ooh, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards B, but C about the perceived favoritism also seems like it could create a perceived opportunity. I'll have to weigh the options carefully.

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I was thinking maybe A with the bonuses, but I'm not confident that's the best answer. I'll have to think it through a bit more.

This one seems pretty straightforward. I think the answer is B - duties not properly segregated. That would definitely create a perceived opportunity for fraud.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by this one. There's a lot of background information to wade through, and I'm not sure exactly what the question is getting at. I'll need to read through it carefully and try to identify the key points.

B) is the winner here. Segregation of duties is a fundamental internal control that, when lacking, creates the perception that fraud can be committed without getting caught.

Haha, D) Bonuses not being paid? That's the 'pressure' part of the fraud triangle, not the 'opportunity' bit. Nice try, though!

I think C) is the best answer. Employees who feel overlooked and resentful are more likely to rationalize fraudulent behavior.

B) Duties not properly segregated is the classic example of perceived opportunity. The lack of controls allows someone to take advantage and commit fraud.
