Situation

Decision

• Keep Temporary compensating control in force until management-bonus accrual workbook is completed after a PE quality-of-earnings request arriving Friday for audit-committee advisor.
• Treat management-bonus accrual workbook as Approve a documented exception because both readings appear after a PE quality-of-earnings request arriving Friday.
• Refuse a Forensic Accounting close: audit-committee advisor does not have the page a referral to counsel is warranted turns on in management-bonus accrual workbook.

Analysis required

• Test cutoff, reversals, and system-of-record ties for materiality on a referral to counsel is warranted.
• Quantify the entry if audit-committee advisor has to reverse it.
• Separate a close-process miss from a qualitative SAB 99 issue in a distributor with offshore trading affiliates.
