intentional fraud
Henrik Alex Comments24816 | Following Stefan, the annual audit procedures are not suited to discover fraud. In fact, an auditor has almost no chance to discover fraudulent actions by employees / management. Remember also, the audit team only spends a couple of weeks each year at the customer's offices and changes every year to a certain extent with many audit team managers being junior associates having just finished university / college. It is basically impossible for the audit team to fully get behind a complex and intransparent business like Wirecard. I have worked as as senior associate for PwC a couple of years and audited some of the largest German banks, insurance companies and investment funds. There's almost no chance to discover intentional fraud. |
