אודות פרק זה
In this episode of Inkplots, K Lynn breaks down a fraud that didn’t look like fraud at all. There were no obvious red flags, no system breaches, and no dramatic financial anomalies—at least not at first.
Instead, the scheme lived quietly inside one of the most overlooked areas of accounting: Accounts Receivable.
Through the case of Kami Power, we examine how millions of dollars can move through a business without immediate detection—simply by manipulating timing, assumptions, and trust.
This isn’t just a story about one employee.
It’s a deeper look at how financial systems are relied upon, how blind spots form, and why “normal” is often the most dangerous place for fraud to hide.
If your receivables are growing, your reports look slightly off, or your systems rely more on assumption than verification—this episode will change how you see your books.
Because sometimes, the problem isn’t what’s missing.
It’s what’s already there.
