答案:
7.C
Rationale:There is a reduction in working capital,which makes it more difficult for the company to operate effectively,potentially resulting in corporate collapse.The other effects should be obvious(remember,we are talking about removal of funds or assets and not overstatement of profits and/or net assets).Reputational damage refers to loss of shareholder and market confidence in the organisation's management when the fraud emerges.
8.B
Rationale:This should be clear from the context,because of the collusion with customers(if you remembered what collusion was).Physical security refers to keeping assets under lock and key:not to be dismissed as a fraud prevention measure!Sequential numbering works because it is easy to spot if documents are missing.Authorisation policies increase checks and accountabilities.
