    ACCA · Question 49 · Syllabus C: Business functions, regulation and technology

    Scenario: FinTech Solutions requires two signatures for all large payments. They recently detected an attempt to purchase high-value assets using illicit funds to integrate them into the economy. They use distributed ledger technology for transactions and recently suffered an attack that overwhelmed their servers with traffic.

    Identify the correct classifications for the following four tasks:
    Task 1: Type of control for the two signatures
    Task 2: Money laundering stage identified
    Task 3: Technology used for transactions
    Task 4: Type of cyber-attack suffered

    Which of the following combinations is correct?

    Answer options:

    A.

    1-Preventive, 2-Integration, 3-Blockchain, 4-DDoS

    B.

    1-Detective, 2-Layering, 3-Cloud Computing, 4-Phishing

    C.

    1-Preventive, 2-Placement, 3-Big Data, 4-Ransomware

    D.

    1-Corrective, 2-Integration, 3-Blockchain, 4-Malware

    How to approach this question

    Match the definitions: Stopping an event before it happens = Preventive. Final stage of laundering = Integration. Distributed ledger = Blockchain. Traffic flood = DDoS.

    Full Answer

    A.1-Preventive, 2-Integration, 3-Blockchain, 4-DDoS✓ Correct
    Task 1: Requiring two signatures stops unauthorized payments before they happen (Preventive). Task 2: Purchasing legitimate assets with illicit funds is the final stage (Integration). Task 3: Distributed ledger technology is synonymous with Blockchain. Task 4: Overwhelming a server with traffic is a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack.

    Common mistakes

    Confusing Preventive and Detective controls. Signatures stop the action (Preventive); a bank reconciliation finds the error later (Detective).
