Continuing on, time off was not required at Peregrine, which could have ultimately discovered this fraud much earlier, by allowing someone else to sit in the absentee’s seat and review all of their work. Additionally, Peregrine lacked internal auditors or an audit committee at the time. The presence of the internal auditors could have decreased odds of misstatement incentives to commit fraud by management, called fraudulent financial reporting, and overseen…
