838870 2009-12-12 21:07:00 Auditors used to follow a procedure called "Vouching in depth" whereby they took a series of usual and unusual transactions and followed them through from start to finish. This procedure over a couple of audits was supposed to expose any funny business. Auditors these days are very reluctant even to "tag" accounts because they want the business next year. Just look at where some of the big audit firms, like Arthur Andersen, are now. The others are no different, it's just that they haven't been caught yet.

And yes, they DO look at payments made and check for authenticity. Presumably this company had some sort of internal audit system as well, which should have picked up any odd transactions. Large payments are usually subject to checks.
