And like a driver going just a few mm over track limit and get the flag, the accountants over spent on pencils and computers.
No one will call it great management if the team prince says "we came close second, but had 10 mil to spare at years end."
If you have 10 million in the kitty, spend $9,999,999.99 on improvement somewhere, and come first.
But then an auditor says... no you cant deduct that expense, or you miscounted or similar.. so now your a shade over.
To me what is clear is that Toto must be a Soccer fan. Falls to the ground and screams if someone even finger-tip touches him, in hope for a penalty or to derail other teams work

The maths is actually pretty simple.
if ( ammountSpend > ammountAllowedToSpend ) {
log("You cheated")
} else {
log ("You didn't cheat")
}
If the best argument for not being able to maths is they were too busy trying to fiddle the books and didn't get it right, then you should get 2 penalties - 1 for cheating, and 1 for being **** at it.
Numbers don't have grey areas. Unless you create grey areas for them to live in.
