In some areas we have focused on bogus self-employment. I am not saying it happens in universities but there can be fairly unorthodox employment practices with respect to the employment of tutors. I became aware of somebody recently who had spent three or four years tutoring but was finding it difficult to get contracts. That practice is kind of repeated in various universities. There was an offer to be paid in book tokens. It is quite shocking stuff. Is the type of employment practices in universities something that can be dealt with in accounts? Would tutors without a contract be identified in any way?
