Which of the following statements regarding a fraud risk assessment is MOST ACCURATE?

A fraud risk assessment is a proactive process for identifying and addressing an organization’s vulnerabilities to fraud. The CFE material defines it as a process aimed at identifying and addressing vulnerabilities to both internal and external fraud. Option B is therefore correct. Option A is incorrect because the primary purpose is not to calculate total historical fraud losses, which are often unknown and difficult to measure. Option C is too limited because the assessment should evaluate entity-level risks, process-level risks, departments, roles, and individuals with access or authority that creates fraud exposure. Option D is also incorrect because high-risk areas can be identified based on vulnerability, likelihood, and significance, even without conclusive evidence that fraud has already occurred.
