During the audit of XX Company, the auditor noted in vouching items in Travel Expense that a receipt for $750 for the dinner of a salesman with a prospective customer seemed excessive.Upon closely examining the receipt, it seemed like a 1 had been changed to a 7 changing the receipt from $150 t $750.

Upon examining other items, two other dinner bills appeared to have been altered similarly.Yet, the auditor decided that at most a few thousand dollars were involved for a multi-billion dollar company the amount was clearly not material. Since the risk of material fraud appeared remote, no additional work was done.
