The case in brief

Visible before detection

    Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight

    1

    Document authenticity / direct pull

    Signed contracts pulled directly would show which deals were executed after period end.

    Can mislead when: The company can refuse consent, and a refusal is itself a flag. Some banks and co-op banks are not on AA yet.

    2

    Third-party confirmation

    Customer confirmation of contract terms would show the bundled services.

    Can mislead when: Counterparties can collude or ignore requests. A non-response is logged as a gap, never as a pass.

    3

    Governance signals

    The absence of an internal audit function and an independent finance-experienced director would show.

    Can mislead when: Private companies file late, so these signals are lagging. Kubr uses them to support other flags, not to prove anything alone.

    Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.

    A summary of public documents. It reports what the sources say. It is not Kubr's finding and not a statement of guilt.
