The correct answer is D. The CFE Manual explains that when parties or assets are spread across multiple jurisdictions, a judgment obtained in one country is not automatically effective everywhere else. In fact, a domestic judgment against a foreign defendant may be useful for recovering assets located in the domestic country, but it might be worthless for reaching assets located in a foreign country. The Manual also states that some countries enforce foreign judgments, but others do not, and enforceability often depends on the internal laws of the enforcing jurisdiction and whether there is an enforcement treaty between the relevant countries.
This is why options A and C are incorrect. Enforceability is absolutely affected by the law of the place where enforcement is sought, and foreign judgments are not universally or automatically recognized worldwide.
Option B is also too absolute because asset location can matter practically, but the Manual makes clear that enforceability does not always depend solely on where assets are located. The better statement is that a judgment secured in one jurisdiction might not be effective in another jurisdiction where the defendant resides or holds assets. That is the cross-border enforcement problem fraud examiners must understand when asset recovery is involved.
