Do you have SA rights on your own server? If so, you have the ability to turn off database auditing, and you yourself are violating segregation of duties. Do you have access to delete to your own database server's backup files? You're violating it there too.

And if I'd thought about it, I'd have realized it before that last post. Still, perhaps I could use "The Guv" to punish them later for their past transgressions? :-D Cheers.
