Current assets/ current liabilities
• Current assets/ Current liabilities
• Decrease: Asset misappropriation?
• Increase: Concealed liabilities?
• Even if we spent a lot of money, we did not earn more money. Therefore, we have lost
some money somewhere, for example:
• We have maybe invoiced at prices below the referenced prices
• We have maybe modified the inventory

Receivables turnover
• Receivables turnover (comparison between debtors and profit).
• (efficiency– collections)
• Decrease: Fictious sales (that have not been paid) ?
• In this example, there are less debtors with regards to profit. Therefore, it appears that
the accounts receivable service has improved the efficiency of collections.
First year
Net sales 250 000,00 € Average net receivables 155 000,00 €
Second year
Net sales 450 000,00 € Average net receivables 210 000,00 €

Profit margin
• Profit margin
• (profit per dollar of sales)
• Decrease: Fictitious costs: phony vendors, inflated expenses,
ghost employees ?
• Increase: Fictitious sales?
• There was less net sales per dollar of sales
• The inventory has maybe been modified,
• Fictitious consulting services have maybe been given.

5 Risk & Control Department
Balance sheet accounts
We tend to analyse the balance
P&L accounts
We tend to analyse the movements
Why?
Because balance sheet accounts are have open item management, meaning that they are cleared. For example, a customer
invoice is debited to the customer control account and a customer incoming payment is credited to the customer control
account. What we tend to be interested in in balance sheet accounts, is where we have outstanding balances (for example
outstanding debit on the customer control account), or where the account is “out of balance”, perhaps because a customer did
not reimburse a credit note and then the account becomes negative rather than the expected debtor balance.
Because P&L accounts do not have open item management, meaning that we usually post all expenditure on debit and all
revenues on credit. What we tend to be interested in, is where we see the opposite, for example revenues on debit, because
this could indicate cancellations of revenue, for example, cancellation after closing of previously entered fictitious invoices.

Trial Balance checklist
# Description Reason
1 Check that debit = credit Ensure that the data is
coherent
2 Check that assets = liabilities
+ retained earnings
Ensure that the data is
coherent
3 Identify accounts that are
new in this FY
Fictitious GL accounts for
hiding miss-statements
4 Check the current assets/
current liabilities ratio year-
on-year (see next page)
Decrease: asset miss-
appropriation?
Increase: Concealed liabilities?
5 Check the receivables ratio
year-on-year
Decrease: fictious sales?
Increase: More efficient AR?
6 Check the profit margin year-
on-year
Decrease: fictitious costs?
Increase: Fictious sales?
7 Identify accounts not used in
FY-1
Fictious GL account to hide
misstatement?
8 Increase in postings to
suspense accounts year-on-
year?
Cookie-jar / fictitious cost or
revenue?
9 New cost/ profit center Hiding fictitious cost/ profit?
