Christine Parnham 4.1 Tag Questions and Admissions Tag Questions Standard questions: 1. You wouldn’t happen to know anything about the financial irregularities we've discovered, would you? 2. This isn’t something you’ve been doing intentionally, is it? 3. You’re not aware of any misuse of company funds, are you? 4. You haven’t been manipulating the accounts for personal gain, have you? 5. You would have any knowledge of unapproved financial transactions, would you? 6. As a long-time employee, you can be trusted to do the right thing, are you not? Inverted questions: 1. Isn’t it true that making ends meet for your family can be hard? 2. Would it be true, that an employee with your level of experience would know the ins and outs of their department? 3. Isn’t it true, you have complete oversight of the accounting process at the company? 4. Is it safe to assume, any discrepancies would have been uncovered by yourself? 5. Isn’t it true, you would have shared any errors with management? Admission When interviewing someone like Sandy Jenkins about possible embezzlement, it is crucial to employ a methodical and evidence-based approach to ensure the authenticity of any admissions made. Utilizing the Cognitive Interview technique, which emphasizes open-ended

questions and encourages the interviewee to provide a detailed account of events, can help gather more reliable information (Bekerian & Dennett, 1993). Additionally, the Reid Technique involves a structured approach to questioning, focusing on behavioral cues and consistency in responses (Sanow, 2011). However, it is essential to be aware of the potential for false admissions, as individuals may be coerced or confess to minimize consequences. The Innocence Project highlights the importance of avoiding leading questions, ensuring voluntariness, and corroborating confessions with other evidence to reduce the risk of false admissions during interviews in legal contexts (Sinhg & Majumdar, 2018). Employing a combination of these techniques while remaining mindful of the potential for false confessions can enhance the reliability of admissions obtained during the investigative process. If Sandy Jenkins has confessed to embezzlement during our interview, it is important to ask postadmission questions to validate the veracity of his confession and gather additional details. The postadmission questions aim to elicit specific, detailed information to corroborate the confessions, verify the extent of the embezzlement, and uncover any additional relevant details for the investigation. It’s important to approach the questions with a thorough and objective mindset, ensuring that the information gathered aligns with other evidence and facts in the case. 1. Can you provide a step-by-step explanation of how you carried out the embezzlement scheme? 2. Can you specify when you initiated the scheme and ceased your activities? 3. Were there any external pressures or personal circumstances that influenced your actions? 4. Were any colleagues or superiors aware of or involved in your activities?

5. Did you create any false documentation or records to hide your actions? 6. Were specific purchases, investments, or transactions associated with the misappropriated money? 7. How might the embezzlement be reconciled with the company's financial records? 8. Can you identify any other individuals who may been involved or had knowledge of your actions? 9. What steps do you intend to take to rectify the financial harm caused to Collin Street Bakery? Phatic communication, which refers to using language for social purposes and maintaining rapport, can play a crucial role in concluding an interview on a positive note ( Phatic Interpretations and Phatic Communication, 1991). To utilize phatic communication effectively, you could express gratitude for Jenkins's cooperation, acknowledge his willingness to provide information and emphasize the transparency of their contribution to the investigation. Using polite and appreciative language helps leave a positive impression, and many encourage continued cooperation. By incorporating phatic communication in the conclusion of Jenkins's interview, we can create a more amicable atmosphere even in challenging situations, gearing towards ongoing collaboration.
