Well, with Internal Controls we can restrict the fraudulent activities which are known risks and Internal Audits will further strengthen to adapt these policies to adhere all the employees. But Tips are something comes from Internal Team or External Team to exploit the loopholes in the risk framework. I have heard cases even Internal Audit Team sometimes collaborated with the perpetuators. So I go with Tips here. If it was an External Independent Audit the answer may vary!

not quite convinced with Tip as the right answer, since The Tip is more of a whistle blower who may take his own time to report due to various reasons. where as a structured internal audit or controls would flag up any deviations. As a part of control testing any transaction falling out of the frame work should be ideally flagged up & post completion the framework needs to revisited to include newer risks & mitigations
