Behind on investment according to auditor delivering cut (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

rump steak

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cut' is the definition.
(I know that rump steak is a type of cut of beef)

'behind on investment according to auditor' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'behind' could be 'rump' (informal term for the buttocks) and 'rump' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'steak' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'delivering' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for rump steak that I've seen before include "Meat" , "Cut of beef" , "might be something for the barbecue" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
