Quick Summary
This discussion explores whether a cash theft discovered after the balance sheet date, but before accounts approval, should be adjusted in the company's financial statements. Participants debate whether it's an adjusting event (requiring provision if legal obligation and probability of winning are high) or a non-adjusting event. The consensus leans towards it being an adjusting event as the theft occurred before the reporting date and was discovered before statement approval.

This is an adjusting event and provisions should be created if it becomes a legal obligation and probability of winning this fraud case is high. Company accounts can be adjusted.

How it is adjusting event ..
the theft was not detected earlier

This is an existing event ie., this theft happened before reporting date And discovered before statements are approved. So anything which occurred before reporting date is also an adjusting event.
