Mr. A: I understand, let me bring Mr. F into my office as he is the finance head of
the office and he will be better able to help you.
Mr. T: Of course.
Mr. A quickly went to Mr. Fs office and told him the entire story. Mr. F once again
assured him that there was no mistake in the tax rebate and that it would not be
wise to pay Mr. T any compensation as that would allow him to take extra cash
from the company every year.
Mr. A and Mr. F quickly came up with a plan. They went to Mr. As office and
asked Mr. T that he would be required to bring an official slip from his
department as they would have to show the same to their superiors as justifiable
amount that they had to pay for work in the country and asked Mr. T to bring the
Official slip next week as he would be busy this week. Mr. T was unable to comply
with the request and said that such things would not be necessary. Despite Mr.
Ts protests regarding the matter Mr. A and Mr. F were steadfast on their demand
and banter between the three continued for quite some time. Soon Mr. T left the
office frustrated, saying that the office had made a really bad decision regarding
the matter.
Once Mr. T had left the office, Mr. A and Mr. F quickly decided on the next plan of
action. They started making calls in order to find information regarding the
government department that Mr. T was part of and quickly found out that Mr. T
was not a rogue employee and that it was a systematic corruption of the entire
department. As such exposing his actions to his superiors would hurt the
company. Therefore they decided to report to the government directly as such
they quickly called up a financial consultant and asked him to come the very
next day in order to discuss matters related to their taxes. They also quickly
called up the secretary of an upper member of the financial department in order
to set up an appointment. Luckily they got an appointment the next week itself.
Thus they spent the rest of the week setting up their case against the tax dispute
that their company had been burdened with.
By next week they had all the proof that they would ever need in order to
combat the tax dispute so they quickly got all their documents ready and left for
their appointment with the government official. The reached his office and asked
to be allowed to meet him earlier than their appointment. Luckily the official was
free that day and they quickly went into his office. They quickly showed
everything to him and asked him to look into their tax dispute.
Once the entire debacle was over with, with them coming out on top and having
their tax dispute overturned as it found out that the government had made a
mistake and the company was applicable to receive the amount of tax rebate
that they had asked for, Mr. A started thinking about the corruption in the
country they were in. He started wondering if the other employees within the
office were paying bribes in order to complete the companys work quicker. As
such he decided that certain guidelines had to be issued to the employees in
order to make sure no bribes were paid by the company in order to process their
work quicker in the government offices. As such he set about looking up the
guidelines set about by International Chambers of Commerce, United
Nations Global Impact, Transparency International and World Economic
Forums, and took them as a guide to set up rules for anti- corruption within his
own office.
At the next meeting with the headquarter, Mr. A laid out the rules that he had
come up with to combat corruption in his office and asked permission from the
headquarters to employ the same in other offices so that his office would not feel
mistreated. The headquarters were impressed with the work that he had done in
this regard and agreed with his suggestions with some minute changes to the
rules and regulations. Thus Mr. A was able to handle the scenario efficiently and
was able to set up proper rules and regulations so that other members in the
organisation would be able to handle such situations properly as well.
