Pentland, "Cops and Auditors: the Rhetoric of Records," in Sim B. Sitkin, and Robert J. Bies eds., The Legalistic Organization (Thousand Oaks Calif.: Sage, 1994): 53-90. Their article reports case study of financial auditing work and mention how auditors determine the authenticity and reliability of records in their own work from the auditor's perspective.
