Assess whether bonus triggers were gamed by cutoff (9ead29)

Situation

A PE quality-of-earnings request arriving Friday put manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts in front of FCPA investigation lead in a construction contractor on percentage-of-completion. This Forensic Accounting / Related-Party and Corruption Risk close is bonus triggers were gamed from manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts, and the live options are Remove access or reverse the item, Temporary compensating control, Approve a documented exception.

Decision

FCPA investigation lead in a construction contractor on percentage-of-completion must choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold using manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts after a PE quality-of-earnings request arriving Friday.

Hypotheses to test

• Manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts reads as Remove access or reverse the item once a PE quality-of-earnings request arriving Friday is lined up to the same Forensic Accounting population.
• Manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts is closer to Temporary compensating control after a PE quality-of-earnings request arriving Friday; Remove access or reverse the item would over-claim this Related-Party and Corruption Risk extract.
• Approve a documented exception is still live in manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts for FCPA investigation lead in a construction contractor on percentage-of-completion.
• Manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts is missing the fact FCPA investigation lead needs after a PE quality-of-earnings request arriving Friday; stop this Forensic Accounting close.
