Assess whether SAB 99 qualitative materiality is triggered from related-party

Situation

SAB 99 qualitative materiality sits with restatement project controller because a covenant-compliance near-miss at the bank hit a construction contractor on percentage-of-completion. Evidence is related-party customer map; write the Forensic Accounting Revenue Integrity option that extract can carry.

Decision

Restatement project controller in a construction contractor on percentage-of-completion must choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold using related-party customer map after a covenant-compliance near-miss at the bank.

Hypotheses to test

• A covenant-compliance near-miss at the bank is noise around an already-controlled Revenue Integrity process in a construction contractor on percentage-of-completion, given related-party customer map.
• A covenant-compliance near-miss at the bank is the event in related-party customer map that forces Remove access or reverse the item for restatement project controller under Forensic Accounting.
• Related-party customer map shows a one-file miss after a covenant-compliance near-miss at the bank, not a Revenue Integrity program failure.
• Related-party customer map cannot decide SAB 99 qualitative materiality yet after a covenant-compliance near-miss at the bank; hold is the only Forensic Accounting close a construction contractor on percentage-of-completion can defend.

Analysis required

• Quantify the entry if restatement project controller has to reverse it.
• Separate a close-process miss from a qualitative SAB 99 issue in a construction contractor on percentage-of-completion.
• Reconstruct vendor, journal, or inventory lines in related-party customer map through the window opened by a covenant-compliance near-miss at the bank.
• For this Forensic Accounting Revenue Integrity file, read related-party customer map against a covenant-compliance near-miss at the bank and write the one fact that would move SAB 99 qualitative materiality for restatement project controller.

Recommendation

Choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold on this Forensic Accounting / Revenue Integrity packet (related-party customer map after a covenant-compliance near-miss at the bank). The follow-on Revenue Integrity action is what restatement project controller does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
