Fraudulent invoices seem like a plausible option too, but I remember discussing how collusion is often more effective against strong controls.

I'm leaning towards collusion as the answer, but I can't recall if rubber stamp supervisors could also play a role in this.

I feel like I've seen a question similar to this before, and I think shell companies were mentioned as a way to commit fraud.

I think I remember something about collusion being a common tactic to bypass internal controls, but I'm not entirely sure.
