Employing the services of a forensic specialist is most appropriate in the investigation of ghost employees in a large business. Forensic specialists are experts in uncovering fraudulent activities, which often require detailed investigations and specialized techniques. Detecting unauthorized changes to source documents, reviewing general computer controls, and verifying fixed assets, while important, can typically be handled by internal auditors or regular review processes. The nature of ghost employees involves intentional deception for financial gain, which aligns well with the expertise of forensic specialists.
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.
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
