Audit-committee advisor must close a referral to counsel is warranted from that extract under Forensic Accounting / Related-Party and Corruption Risk.

Decision

Audit-committee advisor 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 round-trip cash circularization file after a covenant-compliance near-miss at the bank.

Hypotheses to test

• Round-trip cash circularization file cannot decide a referral to counsel is warranted yet after a covenant-compliance near-miss at the bank; hold is the only Forensic Accounting close a multi-entity PE roll-up after a bolt-on can defend.

Analysis required

• Test cutoff, reversals, and system-of-record ties for materiality on a referral to counsel is warranted.
• Quantify the entry if audit-committee advisor has to reverse it.
• Separate a close-process miss from a qualitative SAB 99 issue in a multi-entity PE roll-up after a bolt-on.
