Decision

• Manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts is missing the fact FCPA investigation lead needs after a sudden drop in days-sales-outstanding that looks too clean; stop this Forensic Accounting close.

Analysis required

• Quantify the entry if FCPA investigation lead has to reverse it.
• Separate a close-process miss from a qualitative SAB 99 issue in a public filer facing a whistleblower memo.
• Reconstruct vendor, journal, or inventory lines in manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts through the window opened by a sudden drop in days-sales-outstanding that looks too clean.
• For this Forensic Accounting Occupational Fraud file, read manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts against a sudden drop in days-sales-outstanding that looks too clean and write the one fact that would move a referral to counsel is warranted for FCPA investigation lead.
