Unfortunately those massive cost increases from bad quality or insufficient security do not appear on spread sheets for maybe a decade later - when the executive has long left with massive bonuses and severance pay.

Just another example of why the spread sheets can never measure what current exists and what future costs will really be. Just another example of why management must come from where the work gets done; not from business schools.
