Or even "offence"....
It's worth taking a look at Litebulbs' survey if you have time over the long weekend:
Range of Reasonable Responses Test for Employee Misconduct Survey
Though of more interest are notlangley's stats:

Presumably the accounts of BASSA read

Even at £500,000 per year I am perplexed about how the money is actually spent. It's not just salary we should be looking at, but also things like expenses, company cars (BMW M3s aren't cheap!) and pension contributions which I would reckon are not inconsiderable.
I don't have a problem with people being remunerated for work they perform, but to do so without transparency, and especially when required to do so by Law, is anathema to any professional.
