Guessed

Year-End Read

Finance guesses meals versus entertainment from merchant names.

Root Operational Bottleneck

Control Hazard & Audit Exposure

Meals and entertainment land in the provision as a guess, so the tax return cannot show which receipts supported the deductible amount.

Manifests in: T&E tax-data extraction sheet and year-end provision backup
