We went from "everyone knows where the money is" to "the CFO doesn't know the details."

Words have different meaning in different contexts.

If your CEO is looking at records of individual office chairs when unwinding a billion dollar company someone has seriously fucked up. They don’t and shouldn’t know the details by memory.

However, the details are either available so everyone ‘knows’ them as soon as they become relevant, or the executive officers have been committing serious financial crimes.
