If that is true, then it could be he's basically cooking the books by making people claim expenses occurred in one financial year, to be paid in the next year - so the results of the first year look better than they really should be...
That seems highly implausible - something that would be glaringly obvious to auditers, any corporate lawyer worth their salt (as they could be personally liable to prosecution for knowingly breaching tax laws) and hence open to whistle blowing.
