A Catastrophe a Good Audit Trail Can Help You Avoid
PUBLISHED ON FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 2014 BY ADAM BLUEMNER
Ladies and gentlemen, reintroducing your old, but underappreciated friend: the humble accounting audit trail.
Of course, the idea behind the audit trail is simple, really. When you make an entry or change to your accounting records, your accounting software automatically logs the details for future reference. Who did what, when, how, and for how much? It’s the job of the audit trail to make sure that story is always accessible.
As straightforward as the audit trail is, maintaining and monitoring it properly can keep your business out of some complicated messes, including fraud.
The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners estimates that 5% of organizational revenues are lost to fraud. That’s more than $3.5 trillion annually defrauded on a global basis. Brought down to the level of the individual organization, the average occupational fraud case amounts to $140,000 of lost revenue.
The audit trail is the fundamental business tool for both identifying and preventing fraud.
Fraud, of course, doesn’t just happen magically. It takes an accumulation of actions that will leave footprints. For instance, a common scheme involves entering a record into the AP ledger, printing a blank check, and then assigning a phony payee after the fraudster has made payment to themselves or someone else in on the scheme. This sort of fraud is relatively easy to detect − if there is an active audit trail being maintained and monitored.
The audit trail doesn’t just provide a mechanism for fraud detection, ..I.. . The presence of a carefully maintained and frequently monitored audit trail also acts as a powerful deterrant, in precisely the same way as a video monitor, alarm system, or any other visible security measure.

Abstract
Scientists know greenhouse gas emissions cause climate change, but what causes greenhouse gas emissions in the first place? We assessed how many greenhouse gases are released to support the lifestyles of people living in different parts of Europe – in other words, we figured out people’s carbon footprint. We found that different lifestyle choices resulted in very different carbon footprints. In general, people with higher incomes (_____ bought more things and traveled more) had much higher carbon footprints than people ______ lived more modestly.
Understanding how our purchases affect greenhouse gas emissions is an important step to designing policies and guidelines for cutting emissions and addressing climate change.
