The technique to embezzle fractions of a cent left over has not had a formal name, but it is known in slang as "salami slicing", and is illegal in many jurisdictions.
This aspect of the film has been one of the most referenced in popular culture. In the 1999 film Office Space, the characters use the same computer program that Gus Gorman used to make himself rich. They even mention how it's "just like in 'Superman III', which is kind of an underrated film, if you ask me."
That movie is good and bad at the same time. Richard Pryor falls off a skyscraper and lands on his feet. Ridiculous. Clark Kent fights Superman. Awesome!
