It had only been a few months since Mr Bashir Ahmed, a retired IT Consultant, opened a boutique. He had done a good job in setting up the boutique and sourcing the necessary products for it.His business was slowly nudging towards break-even and everything was running smoothly, so he thought. After seven months of work, his salesperson and the only employee, Khawar, left work without prior notice. Mr Bashir decided to sit at the boutique himself until he found a suitable replacement. He was shocked to find all the fraudulent activities and deceptive tactics Khawar had been using right under his nose.There was inventory mismanagement, accounts manipulation and hidden loans on company’s accounts.Mr Bashir is sitting at the boutique and thinking how to fix the issues and the best way to move forward.
