FCPA Investigation - US and Eastern Europe
Nardello & Co. was engaged by the London office of a US law firm that was acting on behalf of a US-owned telecommunications company with operations in Eastern Europe. The company was concerned about potential FCPA violations arising from allegations of bribery, money laundering and widespread accounting irregularities.
Nardello & Co.'s team of forensic IT specialists spent weeks analyzing computer records in Europe in order to determine if fraud had occurred during the company's pursuit of a multimillion dollar contract with an energy company that was partially owned by the state. Our senior staff conducted numerous background investigations of, and interviews with, key individuals. Potentially corrupt links were investigated and reported to the US parent company as part of an internal review of FCPA compliance.
