Naomi Will Not Sign a Blank Fee
Naomi Berg wanted the invoice stopped before it left the building with a blank where the work should have been. The quarter was closing. Hugh Parnell, the finance director, wanted the fee booked to the sister company before the night was over.
He came to her office with the paper already printed, and with a message to the sister company waiting on his screen. The total was filled in. The description was not. It said management services, which was a phrase and not a fact. He said the sister company had the cash, the group needed the charge in this period, and everyone understood what it was for. Naomi had heard that sentence in other corridors. Understanding between colleagues was not something an auditor could read.
She wanted one thing from him. Not a smaller charge, and not a clever home for it.
