Forensic accounting. Unsure how effective it will be.

We just had a guy that was able to hide the fact he'd lost $50 billion for 25 years from the SEC with not a cent to show for it when they were specifically charged with looking at his books to determine if they balanced out. There is a bit of nefariousness there, but how is the FIA going to be successful trying to find an extra 5 million euros being spent on the F1 team throughout the entirety of the corporation of BMW? Not to mention if they discover it on some teams and not others, we just opened the can of favoritism once again.

Bear in mind this is a voluntary cap.

Yes, it is a voluntary cap. But if a team wants to win, it's likely they'd aim to cheat the numbers to try and get the performance advantage on their competition that comes with freer technical rules. This is auto racing after all, if I owned a team it's what I would do.
