• Treat intercompany elimination mismatch report as Approve a documented exception because both readings appear after a PE quality-of-earnings request arriving Friday.
• Refuse a Forensic Accounting close: internal audit investigations manager does not have the page SAB 99 qualitative materiality turns on in intercompany elimination mismatch report.

Analysis required
