SITUATION Restatement project controller received AP vendor-master change log after a controller resignation with no documented handoff in a county government payroll environment. Remove access or reverse the item or Temporary compensating control must follow from that extract if the file can settle whether related-party revenue is arm's-length.

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 AP vendor-master change log after a controller resignation with no documented handoff.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1.
