Re: submitted on behalf of Igor Balabine....... CPA and overrides

Yes, but the million $ PO could be a scam, a spoof,
and accepting it on faith would be a mistake whether
the business were large or small.

I'd opt for asking the supposed sender to resend it,
signed correctly. 

Following David's approach, we might as well chuck all
of security out the door as being a waste of time and
effort.

Cheers,

Chris
