It's presumably difficult to fabricate cash in the bank

from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board found that in 2018, 27.3% of EY's audits had "deficiencies," meaning the auditor didn't have sufficient evidence at the time to support its opinion on the company's financials. A deficiency doesn't necessarily mean the auditor's assessment of the company's financials was wrong. EY isn't alone: The PCAOB found that Deloitte's rate of deficiencies was 20% and KPMG's was 50% in 2018.

Cash fraud is uncommon, Taylor said, "mainly because of the thought that it's relatively straightforward to audit cash holdings." Presumably, the cash is either in the bank or not. That's what makes Wirecard's fraud "unparalleled," he added.
