I do not think so, if he has an accountant (presumably given the amount of money involved) he will not state that that represents the totality of accounting records in his company through an unstructured excel monitoring. Or yeah, this might been the case which goes back to my recommendations in various posts to request audited financial statements from donors so that its faster to detect if one is not involved in shady transactions…
