    I remember as a trainee auditor when dinosaurs roamed the earth, that one clever computer programmer (the days when a computer room was equivalent to a mini supermarket in size) with a clever little wheeze, diverted all rounding differences to a phoney supplier account coded ZZZZZ1 or something similar, and cleared off with a tidy sum for his troubles.

    Really?
