Accenture India has fired 'several' employees using fake experience letters and documents. IT Giant called it a violation of ethics and sacked the people involved. As per some social media posts, it is alleged that Accenture has fired thousands of employees in lieu of this. However, the company has not confirmed the numbers as of now.

Accenture fired the employees after the company found that there is a racket that supplies fake credentials and documents to people to help secure jobs.

According to a report by The Hindu, Accenture said in its statement, “We have discovered an effort to use documentation and experience letters from fraudulent companies to obtain offers of employment from Accenture in India. We have exited people whom 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.”

Accenture added that it operates under a strict Code of Business Ethics and maintained zero tolerance for any non-adherence. The statement said, “We are continuing to hire, and honour existing job offers for qualified candidates.”

IT Sector is already struggling with COVID-led concepts like moonlighting and thousands of people are sacked from top IT firms for practicing dual employment or dual gig.
