Regarding money, any price is wrong to secure uniform (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pecuniary

'regarding money' is the definition.
(I know this)

'any price is wrong to secure uniform' is the wordplay.
'is wrong' indicates an anagram.
'to secure' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are secured inside).
'uniform' becomes 'U' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'any'+'price'='anyprice'
'anyprice' with letters rearranged gives 'pecniary'.
'pecniary' going around 'u' is 'PECUNIARY'.

(Other definitions for pecuniary that I've seen before include "Relating to money" , "Involving money" , "monetary form" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
