No estoy de acuerdo, en la A, con revisión de usuarios y perfiles se puede detectar y controlar original o firmado vs lo procesado. Creo que es la C

forensic investigator will check if the document is original or fake, will check if the signature real or duplicated, the answer C is wrong as the internal audit can check the employees one by one by himself without needing forensic investigator

Fraud is a wrongful or criminal deception INTENDED to result in financial or personal gain. Letter A clearly stated that theres an intentional deception.

Why not c? I think the investigation of ghost employees is most related to a fraud than the detection of unauthorized changes to source documents, as this could be done by the IA team on a normaly review activity.

I agree with you. Moreover, the term "investigation" points to the possibility of this being taken up legally. Hence a forensic specialist is more appropriate for C.

i have a feeling that the investigation is fairly straighforward and can be undertaken by the IAs themselves whereas unauthorised changes seem to require more indepth analysis and methods.
