1)

A CPA noticed that allowance for bad debts, as a percentage of accounts receivable, declined somewhat severely, despite sales activity having increased drastically over the course of the year.

2)

While reviewing the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger, the the CPA noticed that significant customer receivables had been sold to a collection agency, but not subsequently removed from the detail.

3)

As a CPA was reviewing the interim financial statements, the CPA noticed that there was a large increase in sales volume in the month of December. There appeared to be no similar upswing in sales in the prior year.
