Having lunch with a couple of guys in my industry the other day, and discovered that the company I work for is missing a significant (but not huge) income stream, say $20,000 per month, because we're screwing up some crucial paperwork.
Adjust the paperwork, we get the extra cash. (Clients are huge bureaucracies, they will not argue if the correct paperwork is done).

So, the conumdrum.
My company has shaky profitability, but unlikely to go under. Currently frantically cost cutting.
Management here hates change, and will never admit they got anything wrong. Convincing them to do anything differently will be hard.
If I do convince them, 20% chance I can sort the paperwork as a consultant and take a cut (say 10%) of extra revenue gained.
But 80% chance sorting the paperwork gets added to my job description and my workload jumps up significantly with no extra $$ and no credit. (The credit doesn't worry me, extra work with no change in pay does)

Collective wisdom please...............
