I have a direct report that regularly asks me if they can request IT delete a posted transaction that was made in error. I have always operated under no records should ever be deleted. Instead, a correcting entry should be made with documentation attached to the journal entry. Can anyone point me to a resource I can provide her to help for training? I feel like this request is an internal control issue.

They are your direct report so the resource you point them to is “Because I Said So”

I don’t allow it. I say no every time and explain why. I don’t understand why she keeps bringing it up.
