Charles, a fraud examiner, accuses George of fraud during an admission-seeking interview. George immediately denies the charge. How should Charles respond to George’s denial?
A.
Allow George to continue denying the charge.
B.
Remind George he has to tell the truth or face perjury.
C.
Use a delaying tactic to interrupt the denial.
D.
Counter the denial by arguing with George until further denials are futile.
Answer C - In an admission-seeking interview, when the subject denies the accusation, it is a best practice to use a delaying tactic to allow the denial to subside and to maintain control of the conversation. Instead of directly challenging the denial, which could escalate tension or make the subject more defensive, the fraud examiner can redirect or pause the conversation temporarily to regain control, allowing for a more thoughtful approach to continuing the interview.
