What should the interview plan specify?

• A. Which individuals will be interviewed, the order, the key questions, and observers.
• B. The final conclusions.
• C. The budget.
• D. The legal strategy.

Answer: (A)

The plan for interviews is about organizing how information will be gathered in a structured, fair, and defensible way. It should specify who will be interviewed, the order in which interviews will occur, the key questions to cover to ensure important topics are addressed, and who will observe the process to support transparency. This combination helps ensure consistency across interviews, reduces bias, and yields comparable, reliable information for the investigation.

Final conclusions, budget, and legal strategy belong in other parts of the investigation process or related documents. They guide outcomes, resources, and legal approach, but they’re not the specific blueprint for conducting the interviews themselves.
