It cost him more than \u00a332m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Sebastien de Montessus, the former chief executive of Endeavour Mining also paid a heavy price. His former employer said earlier this year it wants to recoup more than $29m (\u00a323m) in pay and other awards after it fired him for alleged serious misconduct over an &#8216;irregular payment.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">An indiscretion at dinner cost Alison Rose, who was the head of NatWest bank, \u00a37.6million in payouts she would have received had she not chatted to a BBC editor about Nigel Farage&#8217;s bank account.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In the US, the financial punishment can be very painful indeed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Ask Steve Easterbrook, the British born ex-CEO of McDonald&#8217;s. He returned cash and shares worth $105m (\u00a382m) after an investigation found he had secret relationships with staff.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Obviously, the BBC is not the same.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In boardrooms, pay is comprised of a relatively small cash element \u2013 though it is often seven figures \u2013 plus a string of much bigger bonuses and incentive schemes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Some of these take several years to mature so it is fairly easy to scrap those that have not yet borne fruit. Wrestling back money that has already been paid is much harder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">There are no share incentives on offer for BBC staff so in the case of Edwards, it would mean pursuing him for cash or trying to shame him into paying it back, as Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has suggested.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">His pension is almost impossible to seize. Fred Goodwin, the man behind the downfall of RBS, kept his huge retirement nest-egg, despite almost bringing down the UK financial system. He receives around \u00a3545,000 a year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It is, to use Davie&#8217;s phrase, &#8216;legally challenging&#8217; for companies to pursue rich, litigious and well-connected CEOs for malus and clawback. These former bosses are multi-millionaires and can unleash legal attack dogs on their erstwhile employers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But FTSE 100 companies are becoming more assertive about retrieving unmerited rewards from disgraced bigwigs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This is changing the culture in corporate Britain for the better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The BBC should follow suit.<\/p>\n<div data-mol-fe-xpmodule-tim-affiliate=\"true\" data-dark-mode=\"false\" data-environment=\"production\" data-platform=\"desktop\" data-reactroot=\"\" wp_automatic_readability=\"5.9361233480176\">\n<div class=\"mol-fe-xpmodule-tim-affiliate\" wp_automatic_readability=\"7.9148311306902\">\n<h2>DIY INVESTING PLATFORMS<\/h2>\n<div class=\"list-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"item-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"view-wrapper\" wp_automatic_readability=\"4.3783783783784\">\n<div class=\"image row\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Ashtead-booosted-by-US-039mega-projects039-and-green-bill-but.png\" alt=\"Easy investing and ready-made portfolios\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>AJ Bell<\/h3>\n<div class=\"content\" wp_automatic_readability=\"26.385964912281\">\n<div class=\"image column\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Ashtead-booosted-by-US-039mega-projects039-and-green-bill-but.png\" alt=\"Easy investing and ready-made portfolios\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>AJ Bell<\/h3>\n<p><span>Easy investing and ready-made portfolios<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"view-wrapper\" wp_automatic_readability=\"4.75\">\n<div class=\"image row\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1693947518_414_Ashtead-booosted-by-US-039mega-projects039-and-green-bill-but.jpg\" alt=\"Free fund dealing and investment ideas\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>Hargreaves Lansdown<\/h3>\n<div class=\"content\" wp_automatic_readability=\"27.223880597015\">\n<div class=\"image column\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1693947518_414_Ashtead-booosted-by-US-039mega-projects039-and-green-bill-but.jpg\" alt=\"Free fund dealing and investment ideas\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>Hargreaves Lansdown<\/h3>\n<p><span>Free fund dealing and investment ideas<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"view-wrapper\" wp_automatic_readability=\"4.8\">\n<div class=\"image row\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1693947522_115_Ashtead-booosted-by-US-039mega-projects039-and-green-bill-but.png\" alt=\"Flat-fee investing from \u00a34.99 per month\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>interactive investor<\/h3>\n<div class=\"content\" wp_automatic_readability=\"27.428571428571\">\n<div class=\"image column\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/1693947522_115_Ashtead-booosted-by-US-039mega-projects039-and-green-bill-but.png\" alt=\"Flat-fee investing from \u00a34.99 per month\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>interactive investor<\/h3>\n<p><span>Flat-fee investing from \u00a34.99 per month<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"view-wrapper\" wp_automatic_readability=\"3.9310344827586\">\n<div class=\"image row\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/UK-039runs-a-risk039-on-wind-power-Mix-of-tech-is.png\" alt=\"Get \u00a3200 back in trading fees\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>Saxo<\/h3>\n<div class=\"content\" wp_automatic_readability=\"24.727272727273\">\n<div class=\"image column\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/UK-039runs-a-risk039-on-wind-power-Mix-of-tech-is.png\" alt=\"Get \u00a3200 back in trading fees\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>Saxo<\/h3>\n<p><span>Get \u00a3200 back in trading fees<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"item-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"view-wrapper\" wp_automatic_readability=\"4.3561643835616\">\n<div class=\"image row\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RUTH-SUNDERLAND-How-to-strip-Huw-Edwards-of-his-pay.png\n\" alt=\"Free dealing and no account fee\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>Trading 212<\/h3>\n<div class=\"content\" wp_automatic_readability=\"25.846153846154\">\n<div class=\"image column\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.businesstelegraph.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/RUTH-SUNDERLAND-How-to-strip-Huw-Edwards-of-his-pay.png\n\" alt=\"Free dealing and no account fee\" \/><\/div>\n<h3>Trading 212<\/h3>\n<p><span>Free dealing and no account fee<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tim-affiliate-text\">Affiliate links: If you take out a product This is Money may earn a commission.
