A major global financial institution was working with sub-contractors in Pakistan. They began to get suspicious that eight of their former or current employees were colluding with six sub-contractors, thus creating a conflict of interest. They wanted to get to the bottom of the matter, and asked us to verify whether this was indeed the case.
When the client approached us, we suggested an elaborate strategy.
First, we conducted a thorough due diligence check in the public domain in both Urdu and English media. We also traced the connections between them using internet and social media tools. Then, we obtained registration records from the local authority, to verify whether any of the eight suspected individuals served on the boards or had any links to the six sub contracted companies. Finally, we undertook an exercise to check if there was any business affiliation or shared interests between the eight individuals or the six sub-contractors.
Our research revealed connections between the eight individuals and the six sub-contracted companies.
This proved that there was a conflict of interest, and allowed our client to take the necessary remedial action.
