Situation

In a county government payroll environment, related-party customer map is the evidence after a sudden drop in days-sales-outstanding that looks too clean. FCPA investigation lead has to pick Remove access or reverse the item or Temporary compensating control for this Forensic Accounting Inventory and Cash Schemes close using related-party customer map.

Decision

FCPA investigation lead in a county government payroll environment must choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold using related-party customer map after a sudden drop in days-sales-outstanding that looks too clean.

Hypotheses to test

• A sudden drop in days-sales-outstanding that looks too clean is noise around an already-controlled Inventory and Cash Schemes process in a county government payroll environment, given related-party customer map.

• Related-party customer map cannot decide a referral to counsel is warranted yet after a sudden drop in days-sales-outstanding that looks too clean; hold is the only Forensic Accounting close a county government payroll environment can defend.

Analysis required

• Reconstruct vendor, journal, or inventory lines in related-party customer map through the window opened by a sudden drop in days-sales-outstanding that looks too clean.
• Trace approval, SoD, and related-party links that related-party customer map actually shows.
• Test cutoff, reversals, and system-of-record ties for materiality on a referral to counsel is warranted.
• For this Forensic Accounting Inventory and Cash Schemes file, read related-party customer map 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.
