**Affirmed position.** Cyber Security Disclosure and Accountability of Accounting Professionals presents the following source proposition: Out of the 183 questionnaires only 63 questionnaires were usable. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that German banks' exposure to CDO risk ran through credit enhancement and liquidity guarantees given to off balance sheet conduits, and because that exposure was often kept out of their accounting the inherent risk only surfaced once the CDO market collapsed. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
