It is a common fact that we usually buy or purchase anything after thorough investigation of that typical thing. But unfortunately businessmen in Pakistan do not bother to conduct background checks before hiring employees and that is just to save money.
This is the reason why business and corporate sector is not safe in Pakistan. Fraudsters easily hit businesses for their own benefits. There are many examples when employees caused loss of millions to companies because companies just saved money by not conducting proper background investigation before hiring. Unfortunately, there is no law which can bound our corporate sector to conduct proper due diligence of employees. Currently, in Pakistan, terrorism is a major issue and in many cases employees from very sensitive institutions were involved as facilitators. As per my research, there are many firms like CRI Group who are operating in Pakistan having certified fraud examiners on board. Corporate sector must invest little amount for the safety of their interest as well as the safety of Pakistan. Corruption in corporate world is far more dangerous than any other corruption. Awareness must be spread to every individual through regular sessions for employees by inviting anti-fraud experts. Government should also come up with a strict law for corporate sector to make background screening of every employee must before hiring or signing any contract.

Let is face the truth about ourselves. We blame the politician, bureaucrats, police and judges as being corrupt, they did not emigrate from Mars to settle in Pakistan, the are members of our society. We never realize, that we as members of this society are no saints, we are actually no different, we are exactly of the same ilk.
Decades of absence of rule of law and none existent justice have had catastrophic effect on our society. Law enforcement, bending of rules and procedures and dispensation of scarce justice have been converted in to purchasable commodities. In such a rancid cesspit environment, truth, honesty, integrity, merit and fair play become liabilities rather than virtue. To get anywhere, to get anything done, unless one adopts corrupt means, he / she will get no where. National culture and mindset has been steadily and incorrigibly corrupted over the decades. For all practical purposes, our society is based on actually corrupt people who have the opportunity to profit from corruption, and potentially corrupt who lack such opportunity. How long are we going to shun the real truth about our selves?
