Benford’s Law is real, but using it like a blunt instrument in audits is statistically naive! It assumes clean, untampered data spanning orders of magnitude, but real office expenses are full of rounded numbers and policy caps that totally break those assumptions. I've seen junior auditors flag “anomalies” in travel claims just because the numbers *looked* too round, wasting everyone’s time. My own first project involved testing it on a vendor ledger and finding it useless because half the entries were for identical monthly service fees—so I trust the human context over a pie-chart any day.
