I have a vague memory of a case study where organized criminals were involved, but I thought it was mostly internal employees committing fraud.

Okay, let's think this through. The issue is with the Chat Rooms icon, so I'm guessing we need to start or restart a service related to chat or messaging. I'll carefully consider each option.

This is a good test of my knowledge of auditor reporting requirements. I'll need to make sure I understand the specific communication that is required to be included, rather than other types of communications the auditor might have.
