The following were the assumptions that can be derived given the situation above:
Faking the Numbers. Net Income being reported might have been over coated since it is the basis of compensation of both the controller and the company president.
The Controller and the Company President might have been partners in manipulation of the reports. Cash Flow and Net Income are directly related. Increasing net income should also mean increasing cash flows from operations. While it is true that the credit policy was loosened and credit terms were relaxed, a special audit should be conducted on their accounts receivable account because of the presumptions that there are ghost Borrowers Clients.
