Seriously, who would even try to pull off option A? That's like the most obvious sign of fraud. Might as well just wear a giant neon sign saying 'I'm a crook!'

Borrowing small amounts from coworkers? That's just good office morale, right? Nah, just kidding. Option D is the right answer, no doubt about it.

Hmm, I'd say B is the most suspicious. Criticizing others while trying to act all innocent? That's a classic move straight out of the fraudster's playbook.

I'm not sure about C), but I think D) makes sense because all these signs could indicate fraud.

I agree with Ashlee, borrowing small amounts and giving unreasonable explanations are definitely red flags.

I'm going with C. Unreasonable explanations are a dead giveaway that something fishy is going on. Auditors should keep their eyes peeled for that one.
