• Intercompany elimination mismatch report shows a one-file miss after a covenant-compliance near-miss at the bank, not a Revenue Integrity program failure.
• Intercompany elimination mismatch report cannot decide inventory exists or is yet after a covenant-compliance near-miss at the bank; hold is the only Forensic Accounting close a public filer facing a whistleblower memo can defend.
