I can't be bothered to click on the link, but I have been wondering this. Were there many instances of him forgetting to claim expenses? Presumably so.

Since scamming heaps of extra cash from expenses and getting away with it is firmly in their standard operating procedures.

Five years of overclaiming from presumably multiple clients? The incompetence is hardly just his.

MyCo once claimed mileage at too high a rate from a client (they had a higher rate for the first 6500 miles per year or something like that). Fortunately I found out before anyone else, told them and paid it back.

"Admin isn't my strong point" management consultant cleared of fraud
Linky
A finance boss who mistakenly claimed nearly £45,000 in expenses has been cleared of fraud after he explained: 'Admin is not my strong suit.'
Brian Chapman, 55, a management consultant at KPMG, was sacked from his £104,000 a year job after bosses discovered the mistake in 2012.
He had double-claimed or even triple-claimed for international flights, luxury hotels and mobile phone bills over a five-year period. Chapman, who lives with his wife in Scotland but worked in London, admitted he had made false claims during his police interview in December 2012.
But he said it was an honest mistake and offered to repay the funds. Chapman was cleared of fraud after an Old Bailey jury failed to reach a verdict in his retrial.Tags: None
