Assess whether a referral to counsel is warranted (baac63)

Situation

A multi-entity PE roll-up after a bolt-on cannot treat a new counterparty formed 19 days before quarter-end as color commentary on manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts. Revenue-integrity director must close a referral to counsel is warranted from that extract under Forensic Accounting / Occupational Fraud.

Decision

Revenue-integrity director in a multi-entity PE roll-up after a bolt-on must choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold using manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts after a new counterparty formed 19 days before quarter-end.

Hypotheses to test

• Manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts is closer to Temporary compensating control after a new counterparty formed 19 days before quarter-end; Remove access or reverse the item would over-claim this Occupational Fraud extract.

• Manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts is missing the fact revenue-integrity director needs after a new counterparty formed 19 days before quarter-end; stop this Forensic Accounting close.

• Trace approval, SoD, and related-party links that manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts actually shows.
• Test cutoff, reversals, and system-of-record ties for materiality on a referral to counsel is warranted.
• For this Forensic Accounting Occupational Fraud file, read manual journal-entry dump with after-hours posts against a new counterparty formed 19 days before quarter-end and write the one fact that would move a referral to counsel is warranted for revenue-integrity director.
