Submits as wrong about objectives (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sends in

'submits' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'wrong about objectives' is the wordplay.
'wrong' becomes 'sin' (wrong can mean a sin or crime).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'objectives' becomes 'ends' (end can mean a goal or objective).
'sin' placed around 'ends' is 'SENDS IN'.

'as' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
