This message was sent yesterday to Sky News journalists from the financial controller's office:
It has been brought to my attention that people have been using the words "bribe" or "fraud" when submitting their expense claims.
Whilst, in most cases, this has arisen because people are covering fraud or bribery cases, please can everybody refrain from using these words in future.
Sky doesn't tolerate the use of bribery or fraud in the workplace and has to investigate each case. We will be contacting the people concerned.
Thanks.
Any suggestions for euphemisms to help Sky's reporters fill in their expenses sheets in order to comply with this nonsense?
