A lot of speculation but not much actual evidence presented by this blog.

Hey, you know - we can just go ask the agencies in question!

They'll cooperate just as hard as the Maricopa County election board is cooperating with the 2020 county election audit!

OCEANS of "cooperation"!!!

It would take someone that has nerves of steel and the patience of Job to unravel

What was that case where someone noticed a couple of seconds of computer time that did not jive, and tracked it to a big problem?

I forgot the details. (IFTD)

Not just CA:

The high and regular turnover in accounting staff is a sign of possible fraud that financial statement auditors and forensic accountants would note. Such a situation has been associated with frauds in the past. Doesn't prove the existence of a fraud but could indicate an area in need of further investigation. Often, these red flags turn out to be nothing but should be explored.

Sometimes that is the hardest thing to spoof... Date / Time stamps. Not impossible, just a level more difficult.

What year did they change “personnel” to “human resources”?

I found what I was remembering:

Crazy cool true story about an astronomer-turned-sysadmin at Berkeley in the 1980s who decides to track down a 75 cent accounting discrepancy in server usage, and turns into a year-long hunt to track down a sneaky computer spy operating for the KGB. Covers several severe holes in Unix security, but emphasizes that the weakest link in security is almost always from human operators.
