It would be unwise to believe that bribery only occurred in government bureaus.
Without good supervision or regular inspections, corruption could be even more toxic in private enterprises.
International financial groups like Colossal Investments had their own internal inspection department that reported directly to the board of directors.
This showcased that as long as interests are involved, cases of corruption and bribery could still appear in companies of any size.
Jasper had long prepared himself for this.
Despite this, it did not stop his heart from growing cold when he encountered situation.
Jasper had always operated his business with the concept of paying high salaries to prevent corruption. After all, once employees had enough money to live a comfortable life, most of them would not be willing to risk breaking the law by taking bribes.
However, a high salary was not a fool proof plan against greed.
At this moment, even Chad’s expression changed, much less June and Hannibal.
Not that Chad had anything to do with this incident, but as the director of human resources, the recruitment, appraisal, appointment, and more of all employees in the company were his direct responsibility.
Before Jasper established an independent investigation department, the handling of employee corruption still fell under Chad’s job scope.
The current case of bribery and colluding with outside sources was a disgrace to Chad’s professionalism.
“The internal purchasing department and the budgeting and auditing department. How fitting.”
Jasper commented meaningfully, and looked up at June and Hannibal, whose complexions were void of color. “Let’s talk about it, then. What’s the situation here?”
Neither June nor Hannibal had expected to be exposed by the very same protest they planned.
