Decision

Hypotheses to test

- A pre-IPO SaaS company drafting an S-1 already contained a whistleblower email to the hotline before management-bonus accrual workbook arrived; no new Occupational Fraud path.
- Provenance on management-bonus accrual workbook after a whistleblower email to the hotline is broken; do not pick A control deficiency is significant or Material yet.
Analysis required
