Skills: Society
Actions: where M* = M*(this), know(free-action) via substitution
Substitution this for Society chk(C) +M(this).
Aspect-Actions: bypass(main-action) chk(CC-S) = d20 + R(this) +M(Deceive|Persuade) on (pass or fail) set(PC) = 8 + R(this) + M(Stealth) v opp Perception, search(min+) +R(this) +M(Investigate), deceive(min+) +R(this) +M(Deceive), persuade(min+) +R(this) +M(Persuade)

You can use a Finance check to either understand, or deceive, persuade or otherwise modify financial records or general accounting. A knowledge of finance can help to to navigate the myriad complexities of corporate, government, or conventions (like standards or standard procedures) in order to get something done.

Know (free-action)

You can substitute this technique for Society to recall facts on standard procedures, technicalities and the like.

substitution of Society for Finance knowledge checks

sub(this for Society) chk(C,Finance) = d20 + M(Finance)

Bypass (main-action)

A series of actions (targeting people and procedures) that penetrates a legal system in order to carry out other actions, such as the inspection or modification of records, the set up of financial instruments or make trades. The financial system may be an office with procedures, a computer system with records and processes, a stock exchange or some other arrangement.

bypass(main-action) chk(CC-S) = d20 + R(this) +M(Deceive|Persuade) on (pass or fail) set(PC) = 8 + R(this) + M(Stealth) v opp Perception

Success means that you have, through some way or another, convinced the relevant persons to grant you access to the financial system.

In the second part of the above experession (beginning with 'on pass or fail'), you set a Perception Challenge (PC) with the Finance technique aspected by your Stealth. The PC you set becomes the challenge any other financial expert, actuarian, accountant or trader that is looking at the change or data trail, must overcome in order to notice your bypass.

Therefore you make your Bypass attempt with:

bypass action (attempt)

bypass(main-action) chk(CC-S) = d20 + R(Finance) +M(Deceive|Persuade)

At the same time you are setting a Perception Challenge for any other financial expert with:

bypass action (setting PC)

on (pass or fail) set(PC) = 8 + R(Finance) + M(Stealth) v opp Perception

This PC remains even after you have made your change and left, because its the challenge set for any other financial expert to notice that a change has been done and its out of the ordinary.
