No, this isn't a rant about FDs being paid too much. Sadly, it's a confession. Our recent FD Salary Survey had a typographical glitch that resulted in the names of about 40 FTSE-250 FDs being misaligned with the correct company and earnings data. Despite countless hours of checking, this cock-up slipped through our editorial net.

The corrected survey details are available here. If you previously downloaded the wrong data, please accept our apologies. If you haven't, then you're in for a few surprises when you see how many million-pound-plus FDs there are. You might then think that it is the pay that is out of line!
