Possibly deal with money bypassing the works director (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
woody allen
'director' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'possibly deal with money bypassing the works' is the wordplay.
'possibly deal' becomes 'wood' (deal can mean wood as a building material).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'money' becomes 'yen' (Japanese currency).
'bypassing' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'the works' becomes 'all' ('the works' means everything available).
'yen' going around 'all' is 'yallen'.
'wood'+'yallen'='WOODY ALLEN'
(Another definition for woody allen that I've seen is " Director".)
