I'm writing to express a question regarding recent news about Elon Musk's efforts to identify potential fraud. I understand that a software strike team have been engaged in this process.
While I appreciate the value of technical expertise in uncovering certain types of irregularities, I'm curious why forensic accountants, who specialize in investigating financial records and identifying fraudulent activity, are not also a primary focus of this investigation. It seems that their expertise would be crucial in thoroughly examining financial statements, transactions, and other relevant data to detect fraud.
Could you please shed light on the rationale behind this approach? I'm interested in understanding how the current strategy addresses the full range of potential fraud risks, and whether forensic accounting expertise is being utilized in this work.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
