Ask your accountant what value he puts on his own and/or the
organisation's reputation and how much is a large sum.
A couple of a years ago an accountant was fined £10K with £5K costs for a
s55 offence plus named and shamed in the Commissioner’s annual report.
Bet that looked good on the professional CV.
And yes some people have lost their jobs – usually following the criminal
conviction that brought them to notice.
Don’t want to get it wrong too many times then!
