DE-31 — credit memo approval bypass

Awaiting human conclusion

Deficiency Agent

Likelihood is reasonably possible (the routing gap persisted for 6 weeks); magnitude is more than inconsequential at $1.9M gross and $0.4M net, below the $21.4M materiality. FCR-003 detected 5 of 7 occurrences, so the compensating control reduces but does not eliminate the risk. Aggregated with DE-28, combined exposure is $2.4M — a significant deficiency, not a material weakness.
