Case evidence
A signature finding
Four weeks on labour cost at a mid-sized manufacturer.
The brief was narrow: reconcile what the company paid for labour against what it had agreed to pay.
Weeks one and two. Contractor invoices were still billed at the old rates months after the contract had been renegotiated. Overpayment: about ₹85 lakh. Recovered.
Week three. Payroll was matched against gate-pass data for the full headcount, not a sample. Salaries were being drawn against workers who never entered the plant. The HR head was drawing them. Twelve months of leakage: about ₹35 lakh.
What the audit committee received: a one-page note, the contractor recovery, and one standing control: headcount reconciled against gate-pass data before every payroll run.
The first finding paid for the audit. The second is the kind only a full-population check catches. That check now runs every month, which is what Continuous Control Monitoring is.
Sector, names and figures structurally adjusted to preserve client confidentiality.
