SAS Real Estate, situated in Pakistan, recently suffered from a fraudulent bank transaction in a highly competitive market. The company assumed herself a victim of employee theft. This incident risked the company’s future operation and shook the confidence of its customer.
However, the company’s CEO had suspicions about one of his employee who might involve in this theft, but the concern was to fire the suspicious employee or should the company investigate thoroughly?
As the employee was the only one who had the expertise in company’s complex financial software so it might cause a troublesome to CEO if he replace the employee based on his suspicion. This replacement would cause the company with a significant replacement and training cost, and might cause a delay in the company’s future mega project.
On the other hand, if the company would not take any action it would mean the company was tolerant of such acts, which could enhance the threat of such incidents in future. The author, Zunaira Saqib, has the affiliation with the National University of Science and Technology, Islamabad.
