Real property records are commonly available through public or external records sources and can help fraud examiners identify assets acquired by a subject. These records may reveal ownership, purchase history, liens, mortgages, and other details useful in tracing or recovering illicit proceeds. Wage and salary records are generally maintained by the employer and are not normally available from external public sources without authority. Work email history is internal company information or electronically stored information requiring proper authorization. Personnel file documents are confidential employment records and are not public external records. Because real property records are usually maintained by government recording offices and are often publicly searchable, Maddie is most likely able to obtain information about real property assets without consent or legal order.

From the 2014 International Fraud Examiners Manual, under the section related to tracing financial transactions, specifically tracing the disposition of loan proceeds, the following objectives of tracing activities are explicitly outlined:
"Tracing the disposition of loan proceeds can help fraud examiners:
Determine whether loan proceeds were deposited into hidden or unknown accounts Determine whether loan proceeds were used to pay off other loans Identify the involvement of previously unknown individuals (potential witnesses) Determine whether payments were made from hidden accounts Identify undisclosed related-party transactions" There is no mention that tracing loan proceeds can uncover previous civil offenses committed by the subject.
Civil offenses refer to non-criminal violations (e.g., breach of contract, torts), which tracing of financial transactions like loan proceeds is not directly designed to uncover.
This is not a recognized purpose of tracing as taught in the CFE Investigation section. The core objectives revolve around uncovering hidden assets, hidden accounts, payments, and potential witnesses - not prior legal infractions.
Therefore, the correct answer is A, as it is the only option that is NOT true according to official CFE investigation materials.

The Fraud Examiners Manual and CFE Prep Guide explain that tracing loan proceeds is a key investigative tool, but its scope is limited. Specifically, it helps determine:
if proceeds were deposited into hidden accounts,
if hidden accounts were used for loan payments, and
if loans were secured by hidden assets or unknown witnesses.
However, the manuals do not state that tracing loan proceeds can identify internal control weaknesses. That is a different aspect of fraud examination, often addressed through audit procedures or control assessments.
Thus, option D is NOT true.
