In doing so, Frank discovers that Gabby, the company's marketing director, made numerous claims for trips abroad, which she claimed were work related. Further investigation by Frank has revealed that these trips taken by Gabby were personal holidays and completely unrelated to her work. Frank discusses this with Gabby and is informed by Gabby that the trips were authorised by the managing director of "Quirky Chips Ltd", however Frank did not check or confirm this fact with the managing director.
