In performing the work, you discover that there are no invoices to support a claim for a $25,000 disbursement. The manager informs you that all the disbursements are proper. What should you do?
a. Submit the expected statements but omit $25,000 of unsupported disbursements.b. Include the unsupported disbursements in the statements since you are not expected to make an audit.
c. Obtain from the manager a written statement that you informed him of the missing invoices and include his assurance that the disbursements are proper.
