Great insight, I’m a 1st year student and your videos help me grasp more challenging concepts in accounting. I’m curious though, how do auditors usually give bad news? Say you find the company is cooking their books. Do you have a meeting with management where you just flat out give your facts? Or do you go through a 3rd party? Or perhaps you present it as a ‘let’s figure out what went wrong here’ kind of thing?

If the auditor is concerned that the client is committing fraud, usually the auditor will drop the client as a client since if the auditor gives an unqualified (clean) opinion, they can be held liable if the fraud comes to light.

I'm not American but I guess it would be more or less similar in the US. We usually have threshold levels (materiality) of errors/mistatements that can be neglected, because overall it wouldn't change the global opinion on financial statements. When it's material (=important amount), but clearly identifiable, we can request an audit adjustment, meaning to correct the books (otherwise it would be mentioned on the opinion report), just to "fix" the error. If the errors/mistatements are too pervasive, so difficult to isolate, it's a significant matter, and the partner will discuss it with the management about that, and give a qualified opinion (meaning the financial statements are not "OK")

I believe my company is committing fraud through their SPAC companies. How do I get an audit done? The books are cooked by the time the CFO gets them.

Very clear, thanks, I would like to see this applied in the 10-K. Example: I guess that as an investor (not auditor) the revenue recognition issue should not be traceable in the 10-K right? , but what about the amortization of the operating expenses, this might be mislabeled in the 10-K as "Amortization (other)", this preventing the researcher have clarity?

Unfortunately, with a public company, only the auditor will have access to asking these questions. Or the analysts on the conference call. 10k has limited view of these things

I'm not American but I guess it's more or less similar everywhere First of all, there are two direction to manipulate : - overstating results, like if you are a manager, in order to get good approvals from your hierarchy, having "outperform the budget", to get bonus/commission on sales/results (and this can move up in the chain: a branch in a country/region wants to show good performances to the headquarter) - understating results, especially for SMEs that want to avoid paying taxes (because of fake lower tax base) Often the controller/accountant is the key person and can be bribed by the upper management to "manipulate" the accounts (it's the basic risk of management overriding control) So in practice, you will easily manipulate accruals/provisions/depreciation/amortization (since they are all manual entries, without proper supporting documents), not record liabilities (invoices) or future litigations risk (with lawyers), overstate sales (fake invoicing) or understate sales (smaller invoice amount + direct cash payments from clients in addition, that leaves no traces), cover "theft" in the inventories/PP&E (with write-offs or reversals from other accounts), asking over-priced invoice from the vendor (and then the vendor pays you back in cash the surplus) or if it is a friend, record fake invoices and pay it to "yourself" or an 3rd account from an accomplice, ... It's easy (doesn't mean zero risk of detection) "to drown these manipulations", especially if you were yourself an auditor in the past, and know where they focus their substantive testing and/or you can bullshit them when they don't understand properly some movements (require good lying skills)
