Situation

External counsel's accounting expert owns a vendor is a inside a pre-IPO SaaS company drafting an S-1 with intercompany elimination mismatch report as the only packet. A Big 4 inquiry on cutoff testing is what changed the clock for this Forensic Accounting Inventory and Cash Schemes file.

• Treat intercompany elimination mismatch report as Approve a documented exception because both readings appear after a Big 4 inquiry on cutoff testing.
• Refuse a Forensic Accounting close: external counsel's accounting expert does not have the page a vendor is a turns on in intercompany elimination mismatch report.

Analysis required
