C(i)and(ii)only
D(i),(ii),(iii)and(iv)
答案:
1.C
Rationale:Collusion is working with another party(eg customers or suppliers)to commit fraud.Misrepresentation is stating that something is so,when it is not,in order to mislead(eg overstating profits).
2.D
Rationale:Payslips can be deliberately miscalculated to pay extra amounts.Staff may collude with customers to under-record quantities of despatched goods on delivery notes so the customer pays less:conversely,employees may collude with suppliers to pay invoices for larger quantities than were actually delivered.Option(iv)may have made you hesitate:it seems such a positive,desirable thing!However,profits in excess of target may be siphoned off,with less scrutiny once targets have been met.
