EDUCATION INSTITUTION
South Africa
The client, an education institution, initiated investigations into allegations that administrative staff had taken bribes for mark changes and to admit students who did not meet the required threshold for admission. We provided governance, corruption and regulatory advice; conducted investigations, and advised on discipline and dismissal proceedings, and made recommendations on mitigating risks of incidents of this kind occurring in the future.
The importance of this matter lies in the potential reputational damage to the client rather than the monetary value of the fraudulent conduct.
