"As you can see, the corrected projections align perfectly with the initial strategy outlined during the launch," she said, clicking through the slides.

"During this audit," she continued smoothly, "we discovered discrepancies in access logs. Documents were repeatedly altered after submission approvals, traced back to specific users."
She turned to face Amelia directly. "Amelia from our department was found editing files unauthorized."
