Bad IT systems and controls - both hallmarks of AA.

Something like this shouldn't happen, but it does. I worked with a Fortune 100 company and every time their PO integration would back up, the guy in charge just deleted the entire queue. Voila no problems, but also zero idea what was supposed to be where.

Heck, even companies that have their stuff together more have these issues. Remember the guy who submitted fake invoices to Google, Meta etc. and they just paid em? https://www.npr.org/2019/03/25/70671...of-100-million
