“We would like to emphasise that our mandate from Grand Prive was to review all records provided by the company in respect of the Grand Prive Affiliate Program software and related database.”
This just seems silly. A company mandating you to review all of the documents that they provide you with. Of course the finding will be exactly what the company wants you to find.
This would be like if I requested the IRS to do an audit of my finances based only on the information I provided them with. I would never pay any taxes because I would always provide them with evidence in my favor.
A true audit looks at multiple parties, all of the facts and it digs deeper than what is easily accessible. GP would have to give eCOGRA access to all of their documentation for the past years and than any accountant worth a darn would have seen that something didn’t line up.
Its just silly. Smoke and mirrors.
