Explanation

QUE According to the ACAMS Study Guide, one of the skills of an effective AML investigator is to conduct investigative interviews using appropriate techniques and methods. One of the techniques is to use open-ended questions that elicit detailed responses from the interviewee, and to avoid leading or suggestive questions that may reveal the investigator's assumptions or suspicions. Therefore, the best option is to ask question of a material nature about the suspected false statements without revealing the suspected deception, as this would allow the investigator to gather more information and evidence, and to test the consistency and credibility of the interviewee's answers.
