Just nitpicking numbers:
The office's domain is not the whole country, and not every citizen has business records to report.
Your point still stands because there can be tons of individual expenses that businesses have to organize and categorize for reporting to the IRS, state, and stakeholders.
Fair point, I had got a little gung ho with the napkin math.
I'm not the only one though, I double checked the "dozens" were all from the New York office and not actually weaseled from a nationwide list. Found their presumed source and it's 28 cases.
Which is including a large number of cases where prison corrections officers falsifying reports after inmates were assaulted weirdly comes under "falsifying business records". Lots of cases where it's a ancillary charge alongside class B felonies like insurance fraud or grand larceny. Less than 5 actually comparable cases where falsifying is the only charge, usually in connection with bribery.
