Innobee99: Guy, aren't there procedures, documented guidelines and rules in your organisation, to cover such processes? Refer them back to the rules, or respectfully ask them to submit proof that such goods and services have been delivered, before you sign. If you append your signatures to such invoices, without proof of delivery or evidence that the job has been executed, you are the one that would end up behind bars! Also speak to the Head of Finance or Chief Accountant in your organisation about your concerns, and ask him for advice! 1 Like |

Innobee99:Don't be funny. It shows you do not even know the job you were recruited to do. Where is the evidence that the jobs and services you are signing off, were actually carried out? Where is the confirmation? Are you merely a rubber stamp? 3 Likes |

The best thing for you is to resign and look for job elsewhere, but trust me you'll still meet something like that anywhere you go. Your only offence here is conscience which most Nigerians lack. May God help you take the right step. 1 Like |

Your story weak me, how can u sign document or memo if u are a junior staff? But my advise as an investigator is that u make a diligent observation concerning the amount involved, if it worth the risk, u can either negotiate, withdraw or report them silently to EFCC!!!! |

Innobee99: If its not ur job or duty to verify the goods or services done b4 signing then shut up and drive(i mean sign) bt if its ur duty to ensure such notify any other superior in ur office so atleast they are aware ure not part of it or they advise u further. U can't just report to the head office without knowing the implications of ur actions thereafter. 1 Like |

TMemos: You have said it all. may we be wise. what is bad is bad and what is good is good. life is either black or white. if you know something is bad you don't manage because trust me it will eventually catch up no matter of smart you try to cover it up there will always be a blindspot. when you do something good the feeling is priceless aside from its cosmic rewards. that feeling of peace being able to sleep every night without worries. Total and good overall well-being of a Man. its a delicate matter requiring delicate measures. May we be wise. |

Re: How Do I Tackle This At My Work Place? by nedzuby: 1:07am On Mar 05, 2018 |
For the fact that you have started signing, they will use it to blackmail you. But you need to report the matter to HQ no matter what confess that you have signed because of fear and you are reporting the matter because of your conscience. Trust me everything will turn out better. But if you don't, it will be assumed that you get you own share from the money. So wise up 3 Likes |

My dear get in touch with your control department and confide in him in writing or involve the management at head office and report the matter under cover. They will protect while investigation lasts. 1 Like |

Innobee99: The Christian thing to do obviously is to stop appending your signature. But I'll suggest to see your pastor or someone is your field who can counsel you about it. Perhaps the reason your predecessor was fired was for lack of cooperation. It's crazy how most jobs especially in Lagos nowadays are designed to disunite us from our faith. Even the sabbath is not longer kept in some offices cos some staff work overtime Saturdays and Sundays. Don't do anything rash just yet, cos the labour market really is unfriendly. Yet we must walk by faith. Pray about it and read your bible too for God's guidance. |

Innobee99: This has nothing to do with your belief. You don't have to be religious before you know right from wrong! What is going on there is fraud and you are aiding and abetting it This is one of the reasons why Nigeria has refused to develop! What I would advise you to do is to go outside and create a dummy email address then use it to send an email to the Head Quarters with a narrative of what is going on, be sure to copy all the relevant bosses including the CEO if you have his email. Make sure you create the new email address in a cybercafé and also send out the email from a cybercafé so that it cannot be traced to you 2 Likes |
Re: How Do I Tackle This At My Work Place? by deb(m): 2:26am On Mar 05, 2018 |
You should send anonymous email using probably a newly created email without any trace to you to the HQ. Express how action you are forced to take is going against your will. Also express the threat you face and why you need to be protected in case anyone among the guilty is smelling rat. |

U may kindly but firmly request to be transferred to another job position or department in ur company. If this is not possible, call a meeting with the strong voices of the bosses involved and politely and smartly lay out your concerns with logic. U got a chance to survive it. They would soon realise your make up personality and free u from similar stuffs in d future. I have been there too. |
Re: How Do I Tackle This At My Work Place? by Nobody: 5:33am On Mar 05, 2018 |
Before one can answer, one needs to know what the actual culture is within your company. Do they have a zero tolerance policy towards corruption or is it lip service? Are all the ogas running their own scams? Who can you safely report to? Also, your story has k leg. Why would you repeatedly be asked to sign different receipts? Your ogas can do that themselves or get any Tom dick or Harry to do that. |
Re: How Do I Tackle This At My Work Place? by jolyment: 5:35am On Mar 05, 2018 |
You don't need to sign what you know it is illegal.I was working in a private company and later I was told to involve in unlawful things which I refused.They could not sack me and luckily I got a federal job within 30 days that they asked me to do unlawful things.Just do the right thing. |

Re: How Do I Tackle This At My Work Place? by Nobody: 6:53am On Mar 05, 2018 |
Guy Was that part of your job description when they employed you? Signing as the seller is a clear case of fraud , and no way you can explain your way out it when shit hits the fan. Next time kindly and firmly ask them to get it signed by the seller. Then proceed to confirm this purchase before signing. If I'm right your role is to confirm that purchase was actually made before signing no? Innobee99: |
Re: How Do I Tackle This At My Work Place? by apprentist(m): 6:57am On Mar 05, 2018 |
Get a sound recorder (your phone if it's safe and secure). Involve in a discussion with any of them that indicts them on the issue (this could be an argument on the said issue), ones you have their voice on the matter, send it to a higher office. Probably the HQ with a report of all the receipts you have signed. And prepare for the challenge. But I'd advice, if you're not ready for strokes, don't even attempt this. Good luck. |

Innobee99:Is your head of department aware, is your sectional head aware, are your other colleagues aware, have you asked questions to know if it has been the normal practice, so they finally get supply of such goods and get it delivered and you witnessed its delivery, does those that take inventory of stucks aware if it was delivered. Just try and be sure you are not signing for them to take delivery and get it diverted or share the loots with out your concent, pls let the management be aware of your fears before it will be used against you |
