Assess whether a referral to counsel is warranted after a warehouse count

Situation

Occupational Fraud work in a county government payroll environment now turns on a referral to counsel is warranted because a warehouse count that came in 11% light put round-trip cash circularization file in play. Restatement project controller should say what round-trip cash circularization file proves.

Decision

Restatement project controller in a county government payroll environment must choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold using round-trip cash circularization file after a warehouse count that came in 11% light.

Hypotheses to test

• A warehouse count that came in 11% light is noise around an already-controlled Occupational Fraud process in a county government payroll environment, given round-trip cash circularization file.
• A warehouse count that came in 11% light is the event in round-trip cash circularization file that forces Remove access or reverse the item for restatement project controller under Forensic Accounting.
• Round-trip cash circularization file shows a one-file miss after a warehouse count that came in 11% light, not a Occupational Fraud program failure.
• Round-trip cash circularization file cannot decide a referral to counsel is warranted yet after a warehouse count that came in 11% light; hold is the only Forensic Accounting close a county government payroll environment can defend.

Analysis required

• Trace approval, SoD, and related-party links that round-trip cash circularization file actually shows.
• Test cutoff, reversals, and system-of-record ties for materiality on a referral to counsel is warranted.
• Quantify the entry if restatement project controller has to reverse it.
• For this Forensic Accounting Occupational Fraud file, read round-trip cash circularization file against a warehouse count that came in 11% light and write the one fact that would move a referral to counsel is warranted for restatement project controller.
