Some time ago, one of our more experienced (in investment matters) readers told us about a strategy that sometimes yield interesting results.

If you have serious doubts about a company's financial statements then you write a letter to the auditors of a company highlighting the relevant issues. You can do this either as an open letter or as private correspondence, but if it is private then you make it clear you reserve the right to later publicise the letter. If you deal with auditors with half a brain cell then generally the end result is that the auditors put in double the effort to ensure they are comfortable signing off due to the implications of being forewarned.
