Examinations of any sales subject to corruption (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

analyses

'examinations' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Methodical examinations ' mean 'analyses' so perhaps 'examinations' could also mean 'analyses')

'any sales subject to corruption' is the wordplay.
'subject to corruption' is an anagram indicator (a corrupted version of the letters).
'any'+'sales'='anysales'
'anysales' with letters rearranged gives 'ANALYSES'.

'of' is the link.

(Another definition for analyses that I've seen is " Methodical examinations".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
