Does the cursing of the one who consumes usury, its scribe, and its two witnesses apply to someone who works as a financial auditor and prepares financial statements for a company that deals in usury, knowing that he refuses to review the usurious items himself, does not write down the usurious entry, and is not the one who signs the auditor's report?

If the job does not fall under the specific threat against the usurer, his agent, the scribe, and the two witnesses, then the worker is still burdened with the sin of condoning usurious dealings and failing to denounce them, due to his participation in preparing lists that include balances of loans, deposits, and interests. It is advised to leave this job and seek another, unless there is a compelling necessity to remain in it, while getting rid of the unlawful portion of the salary, and seeking sustenance from Allah.
