Accenture’s India unit has kicked out several employees for obtaining job offers from the IT firm by using documentation and experience letters from fraudulent companies.
Accenture India recently issued a statement announcing the same. “We have discovered an effort to use documentation and experience letters from fraudulent companies to obtain offers of employment from Accenture in India,” said the IT firm.
“As a result, we have exited people who we confirmed took advantage of this scheme. We have taken action to ensure that there will be no impact on our ability to serve our clients. We are continuing to hire, and honour existing job offers for qualified candidates,” read the statement.
Accenture also stated that it has “zero tolerance for any non-adherence” to its strict business ethics code.
