Chapter 116 Mathematical Audit, Dimensionality Reduction Strike(2/2)
Accounting operations are such a data collection with enough samples. Su Ze did not look at other data, but only grabbed the balance data of each type of book and began to apply Ford's Law.
Su Ze wrote and calculated and quickly counted all the remaining books. Sure enough, after applying the rules, the appearance patterns of many numbers did not comply with Benford's rules.
Su Ze found the problematic category again, checked it out with a pen, and then said to the clerk:
"Bring these sets of books out."
The waiter took the paper, glanced at the shopkeeper, and his expression immediately changed.
Shopkeeper Yu also took the paper, and his expression became even more ugly.
No matter how stupid Yu Zongyuan was, he still saw the problem at this time.
"Why don't you take it out quickly! Can't you take it out?"
Shopkeeper Yu was breaking out in a cold sweat. Where did the scholar Yu Zongyuan come from? How did he discover that he had made false accounts so soon?
Shopkeeper Yu's method of making false accounts is also very low-level, that is, hiding profits in unsold books and falsely reporting inventory to siphon off profits.
The existence of books on these books that actually do not exist is the excess profit of the bookstore.
As for these "non-existent books", the shopkeeper Yu has made a complete purchase and sales account. If you look at the accounting alone, there is no problem at all.
There are also a lot of used books in a bookstore. He has made entries for so many books, and it is really difficult to count them. Even if the accounting experts come, they can't find the problem in a short time.
Once the audit begins, the shopkeeper only needs to put the books that need to be checked on the cover and temporarily make up, and he can get through it.
This set of methods has been used until modern times. It can be said to be an upright and simple method of false accounting, simple and practical.
But Su Ze only wrote and drew for half an hour before finding the problematic book. Yu Zongyuan also asked the clerk to take it out immediately. How could he take it out?
The waiter was trembling all over. The shopkeeper had falsified the accounts. Naturally, he, as a clerk, would get a share of the profits.
He has the courage to make false accounts, but he cannot afford the consequences of the false accounts being discovered.
The clerk is a son of the Yu family, and the household registration and deeds are all in the hands of Zong Yuan.
After all, Yu Zongyuan is his father.
If the son makes a mistake, and the real father beats his own son to death, the government will only scold him, let alone a domestic slave?
Of course, if someone really dies, the government will definitely intervene, but the Yu family is a military guard. How many servants disappear from the Yu family every year. It is too easy for these big families to regulate their servants.
Su Ze pointed at the waiter and said, "Tell me, which of the items on this list are true and which are false. Tell me and I will ask Young Master Yu to forgive you."
The man was still trembling, but Yu Zongyuan kicked him over and said, "If you don't say anything! I will kill your whole family!"
Mr. Yu's threats were simple and direct, and the guy responded with a whoop.
Chapter completed!
