Selected Answer: A
This is NOT a recommended strategy. In admission-seeking interviews, Certified Fraud Examiners are trained to express understanding and sympathy, and to minimize the subject’s perceived moral guilt. This technique helps create a non-threatening environment that encourages the subject to confess by providing a face-saving way out (e.g., blaming pressure, opportunity, or external circumstances).
