In a bustling auto parts supply store, the finance team has noticed some troubling financial
discrepancies. Customers who have been diligent about paying their bills on time have
started to question their account statements. Some customers report that their payments
have not been properly credited, while others notice strange inconsistencies in their
outstanding balances.

Upon further investigation, it becomes apparent that an employee in the accounts receivable
department has been manipulating payment records. This employee has been intercepting
