The problem with the story is there is a reasonable solution for the bean counters: you log time against tickets you work on or help with. Then maybe prorata the points to the hours.

The issue now is of course you are just incentivising taking overestimated stories. This cat and mouse never ends. Crucially you are punishing/removing the glue people that do the stuff not specified that needs to be done. So now you need every little thing on the board. And a lot of time on arguing about what should be on.

It is worse when the tasks allowed on the board have to be agreed by a committee that meets on a Wednesday. Not joking that has happened! But that is another story.
