    Most companies hide random expenses somewhere in the R&D budget, since it’s very opaque. Probably a few thousand random iPads as “gifts” to distinguished contributors and whatnot that were labeled as testing equipment.

    I’ve been auditing major companies for a living some years ago, and there was all kinds of stuff booked as R&D expenses that would make actual staff jump for joy, had they been able to use it.
