Decision

Forensic accountant in a nonprofit with restricted-fund complexity must choose Books should be restated / Merely adjusted using related-party customer map after a tax-authority information document request.

Hypotheses to test

• A dual reading is still live in related-party customer map for forensic accountant in a nonprofit with restricted-fund complexity.
• Related-party customer map is missing the fact forensic accountant needs after a tax-authority information document request; stop this Forensic Accounting close.
