Anticorruption and Integrity

Fraudulent practices

A firm was temporarily suspended from participating in any ADB-financed activities for submitting falsified documentation in its bid for an ADB-financed contract.

OAI’s preliminary investigation obtained sufficient evidence to indicate that the firm submitted falsified documentation of its personnel’s work experience, and failed to disclose pending litigation and current work commitments/works in progress, which is contrary to the firm’s declaration in its bid documents that it had no pending litigation or work commitments.
