Assess whether cash ever economically changed hands (ba2194)

Situation

After a board bonus that just cleared the hurdle, AP vendor-master change log is what external counsel's accounting expert can touch in a county government payroll environment. Forensic Accounting will live with Remove access or reverse the item versus Temporary compensating control on this Related-Party and Corruption Risk file.

Decision

External counsel's accounting expert in a county government payroll environment must choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold using AP vendor-master change log after a board bonus that just cleared the hurdle.

Hypotheses to test

• The population in AP vendor-master change log is the one a board bonus that just cleared the hurdle named, so Remove access or reverse the item follows for this Related-Party and Corruption Risk file.
• The population in AP vendor-master change log is adjacent only to a board bonus that just cleared the hurdle; Temporary compensating control is the honest Forensic Accounting call.
• A county government payroll environment already contained a board bonus that just cleared the hurdle before AP vendor-master change log arrived; no new Related-Party and Corruption Risk path.
• Provenance on AP vendor-master change log after a board bonus that just cleared the hurdle is broken; do not pick Remove access or reverse the item or Temporary compensating control yet.

Analysis required

• Test cutoff, reversals, and system-of-record ties for materiality on cash ever economically changed.
• Quantify the entry if external counsel's accounting expert has to reverse it.
• Separate a close-process miss from a qualitative SAB 99 issue in a county government payroll environment.
• For this Forensic Accounting Related-Party and Corruption Risk file, read AP vendor-master change log against a board bonus that just cleared the hurdle and write the one fact that would move cash ever economically changed for external counsel's accounting expert.
