Situation

Forensic Accounting will live with Remove access or reverse the item versus Temporary compensating control on this Inventory and Cash Schemes file.

Decision

Hypotheses to test

• Keep Temporary compensating control in force until AP vendor-master change log is completed after a sudden drop in days-sales-outstanding that looks too clean for forensic accountant.
• Treat AP vendor-master change log as Approve a documented exception because both readings appear after a sudden drop in days-sales-outstanding that looks too clean.
• Refuse a Forensic Accounting close: forensic accountant does not have the page SAB 99 qualitative materiality turns on in AP vendor-master change log.

Analysis required

• Trace approval, SoD, and related-party links that AP vendor-master change log actually shows.
• Test cutoff, reversals, and system-of-record ties for materiality on SAB 99 qualitative materiality.
• Quantify the entry if forensic accountant has to reverse it.
