Director’s conduct – Fraud investigation

A non-resident shareholder of an hotel instructed Simmons Gainsford Financial Investigations to review the conduct of the sole UK director who had recently been dismissed from his position.

Challenges

Doing the review the team from Simmons Gainsford Financial Investigations had to deal with the poor records maintained by the former director. By using the director’s own explanations against him it was established that he had benefited from pay rises exceeding the maximum allowed under his employment contract.

Outcome

With the help of these findings the shareholder significantly strengthened his position in the director’s redundancy negotiations.
