And in disclosing that information, she wasn't even able to accurately verify the guy had been paying rent/was on payroll and had, in fact, been around for a while. It doesn't matter how many employees you have. Your bloody check-taking accountant should be able to find out real fast who they took money from and why. That's literally their fucking job.

Sounds like you have your pitchfork out and are waiting for any excuse to lynch someone.

The accountant is not the parole officer of the employee. They were asked if a certain employee lives in a certain address. Why on earth would they say they were 100% sure of that fact, unless they actually lived with that person or were neighbors? What if that employee routinely spent their nights and weekends in some other place?

This is piss poor judgment on the police - they ended up making the accountant being some kind of "official address verifier" which is not the accountant's job or responsibility.
