I’m not sure, but checking communications for spoofed emails sounds like a good idea too. It could reveal how the data was leaked.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Why do we need to request the bank cut-off statements for 10-15 days after the balance sheet date? Isn't the balance sheet supposed to reflect the company's financial position on a specific date? I'll have to think this through more carefully.

I'm a bit confused on this one. Is it possible that the software just gets reclaimed regardless of the user's decision? Or does the manager have to step in?

Option A is crucial. We need to determine if there's any internal knowledge of the incident before we can take any further steps. Insider threat is a real concern in these cases.
