Practice reading the evidence

Fictional SAMPLE earnings worksheet with conflicting period totals and three checks: arithmetic, independent source verification, and supporting records.
SAMPLE / FICTIONAL: this teaching worksheet intentionally contains conflicting totals. Four periods of 100 total 400, while the separate summary shows 500 and an inconsistent prior total. Check the arithmetic and verify records independently. An inconsistency is not proof of fraud.
Illustrative document review
A visual inconsistency is a reason to check, not a finding of fraud.
1. Reconcile the period and year-to-date arithmetic.
2. Verify the employer or source independently.
3. Compare permitted supporting records using consistent screening criteria.
