✍️ Sample CVA Questions & Answers
1. What is the risk of relying exclusively on automated database checks without human review in CVA verification?
Automated databases can contain outdated or erroneous data; human review is necessary to recognize context that automated systems cannot interpret.
2. What is the appropriate response when an applicant refuses to authorize release of verification information?
Verification requires proper authorization, and a refusal must be documented and communicated since it directly affects the ability to complete the process.
3. Which of the following is NOT a reliable method for verifying a digital signature on a submitted document?
Asking the claimant to self-confirm a digital signature provides no independent validation and is not a reliable verification method.
4. Under CVA digital tool standards, which practice ensures data retrieved from online sources is properly preserved as evidence?
Timestamped screenshots or data exports preserve the exact content and retrieval time, creating a defensible evidentiary record.
5. What is the primary purpose of including a 'limitation statement' in a verification report?
A limitation statement transparently communicates what was and was not verified and why, supporting informed decision-making by the recipient.
6. Which of the following is an appropriate way to close a CVA verification interview?
Closing with an invitation for additional information, a summary, and next steps ensures completeness and transparency.
