Boss's Daughter Recycled Critical Files. $110M Auditor Proved Me Right

"We're recycling those outdated binders by Friday," the owner's daughter announced, eliminating decades of documentation.

Adeline Thorncroft spent 17 years building compliance systems no one appreciated—until a rushed archive elimination, an accelerated audit, and missing digital files proved that preparation beats presumption.
