Warnings — a count is fiddled (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cautions

'warnings' is the definition.
(caution is a kind of warning)

'a count is fiddled' is the wordplay.
'fiddled' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'count'+'is'='acountis'
'acountis' is an anagram of 'CAUTIONS'.

(Another definition for cautions that I've seen is " Warnings against certain acts".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
