My consulting assignment may be coming to an abrupt end next week.
As you know, I had been asked by my client-Parent Company to surreptitiously "audit" their newly acquired subsidiary, while the subsidiary thinks I am there to improve internal controls. So I am wearing two hats here. I've basically been working "under-cover".
Also, as you know, I saw red flags of fraud all over the place with this subsidiary and its manager. The latest is that with the information that I was able to get into the Parent Companies hands, has allowed them to confirm that $1.2Million in revenue has gone missing since March acquisition date.
Tomorrow an auditor is joining me at the subsidiary site. I suspect she is there to gather any remaining confirming evidence, or to find some rational explanation for the missing revenues. Meanwhile the manager I have been auditing has been asked to fly back to the Parent Company's headquarters......so he won't even be on site here next week.
I suspect the parent company will be confronting this guy with his fraud. Depending upon how that goes, parent company may ask for all of their purchase money back from this guy.,.....in exchange for not prosecuting him......who knows. I can't imagine they would want to continue working with him, even if paid all the lost money back.....who knows.
Anyway, if parent company pulls out of transaction, I will be out of a job again.....and back looking for my next gig.
Here is the interesting twist......the manager under investigation came into my office yesterday and asked me if I wanted to come work for him, and make big bucks. At first, I thought he was kidding.....but he said he was serious.
So, either I did one hell of a job of maintaining my "cover".....that the client under investigation wants me to join them because they don't know what I've really been doing.......or they do realize, and know the jig is up, and now they are trying to shut me up with a bribe of a well-paying job. He even dropped the name Jesus into the conversation......but he said it in away that I knew that he does NOT know the Lord, but was trying to possibly impress me that he is a fellow believer. I witnessed to one person at this assignment.
Anyway, it was a very weird feeling........if it turns out that there is a logical explanation for the missing $1.2Million dollars.....and this company keeps going.....and there is not fraud going on, it might take him up on his offer.
But my "gut" tells me ......and has been telling me......that something is rotten in Denmark. Let's put it this way, I would be MASSIVELY surprised if everything has been on the "up and up".
I also suspect that the whole thing is likely to blow up this week......if so, not only will there be NO lucrative job offer....I'm going to have someone red hot mad at me......if all this comes as a surprise to him.
So, you can see why I am asking for prayer. I thought its been nerve wracking so far......next week promises to be potentially much worse.
I need prayer for "protection" and "wisdom". I will need my guardian Angel with me all next week at a minimum.
Thanks for prayers!
PS: I forgot one more thing......remember "My Move from Hell" at the beginning of April? I am sueing the movers in small claims court......case has been postponed until July 19th, at the mover's request. But, yesterday I received a voicemail message from Public Utility Commission state headquarters......they want to subpoena me as a witness. I wasn't sure what this meant.....since I am the one bringing suit against these movers in small claims court.....I will be in court to try my case in July.....so why the subpeona?? An attorney friend suggested that the PUC is subpoena-ing me to be a witness against these movers for.....get this: Criminal Charges! We are just speculating that that is what is going on......but that would be great! I thought extortion was a criminal offence......I couldn't believe the police allowed this to happen to me.....and told me my only recourse is to sue these demonic movers in small claims court.....which I am doing. It definitely felt criminal at the time. Wow! If we are right.....these guys are going to JAIL!!!......Personally, I think that is EXACTLY where they belong! In any case, it looks like their moving days are OVER!!!!!! If all goes well, they will never be able to victimize extort another person again!
Please pray that a good attorney will step forward and help me with all these cases.
Thank-you!Its Saturday, and I am dead tired on the weekends......I need to spend my weekends in bed, just to have enough strength to get through the upcoming week. So, I'm off to bed now.
Maranatha!
