I once worked for an IT company where all managers were set performance targets. Some targets conflicted with each other. If you achieved one you had to let slip another one. Some targets were nigh on impossible to achieve in a busy and competitive market place. Promotion, salaries and even job security were based on these targets so people fiddled and cheated. However as long as a set of 'achieved' target figures were presented to the senior management, they didn't ask questions, as business was very good! The auditors were the ones to watch out for!
Could it be, that with the highly visible and at times, intensive workload of the RAFAT, priority was given to the tasks that were highly visible?
The deliberate falsification of continuation training, instrument flying and instrument approach records were neglected because it may have been nigh on impossible to achieve both these tasks and the displays, which of course, was their raison d'etre.
From my business experience it's an easy and pervasive culture to slip in to
