A few days ago in Kang Hyun’s room.
Kim Sa Heon, the Audit Director, one of the few people in the company Kang Hyun absolutely trusted.
He was sitting in Kang Hyun’s room at 9 PM, after most employees had left for the day.
Due to the nature of strategic planning work, most projects required a risk management plan, and it was through these numerous projects that their connection was formed.
Adhering strictly to the FM principles, he never deviated from the right path and was a person of integrity, never lying.
With his skills and experience, he could have been promoted to an executive position, but strangely, he never had such connections.
However, he did not covet such things and had been working at C&C for a long time.
In Kang Hyun’s view, he was the ideal person for the role of Audit Director.
Some executives didn’t like him for being too rigid and meticulous, but Kang Hyun found Director Kim Sa Heon to be the most reliable.
“Director, the reason you wanted to see me at this hour today… I understand it to mean there’s a problem, am I right?”
“You’re quick as always. Yes, Director.”
Kang Hyun connected his laptop to a larger screen and showed it to him.
“I accidentally received some sales figures that seem odd. I checked with the accounting team, and the numbers vary from project to project, by as much as 50 to 150 billion. I didn’t want to make any hasty judgments, so I requested this meeting for your expert advice.”
Kang Hyun looked very serious, prompting Director Kim to nod and carefully examine the data.
“Have you saved all the data separately, Director?”
“Yes, I’ve downloaded it and saved copies in several places.”
“Good job.”
“I’m not sure about the other issues yet, but especially the new project I’m overseeing, the Onyu Pharmaceuticals investment, the numbers and details are terribly inadequate and messy. If it were just internal data, that would be one thing, but these figures have been shared with Onyu Pharmaceuticals, and that’s the problem.”
“I’ll look into it more closely, but what did you identify as the biggest problem, Director?”
“The budget we received from Onyu Pharmaceuticals for investment, when you look at the actual figures, they’re all significantly negative, but the shared data shows a slight profit. Especially this year’s numbers are the worst. It looks like they’ve manipulated the figures to aim for additional investment.”
“Ha… Why is this happening again?”
“Again? Has there been a problem like this before?”
It was a long time ago. There might be no one left who knows about this incident. It happened during Chairman Cha Seung Jo’s time as president. You might not know, but C&C was originally founded by Chairman Kim Kwon Joong, Chairman Cha’s father-in-law. Shortly after his daughter, President Kim Ji Won, married President Cha Seung Jo, the succession was passed to him.
Kim Sa Heon, recalling the past, continued.
“Not long after their marriage, when President Cha Seung Jo became Chairman, the issue arose. It was discovered by Chairman Kim Kwon Joong that numbers for a project President Cha Seung Jo was handling were manipulated. The project was quite significant and successful, greatly supporting his ascension to the Chairman position. Of course, Chairman Kim Kwon Joong used his personal wealth to cover it up, so it didn’t cause any issues within the company or leak outside. However, everyone in the audit and accounting departments, at least at the managerial level, knew about it.”
Director Kim, explaining the situation, seemed parched and drank the water in front of him.
“At that time, I was a member of the audit team. Due to a shortage of hands, the department head secretly involved me, so I found out. But externally, others didn’t know what I did.”
After finishing his story, Director Kim added another point as if he just remembered.
“Not long after that incident, the heads of the audit and accounting departments, who were officially in charge of the case, left the company.”
“Was their resignation not voluntary? Was there pressure from Chairman Cha Seung Jo?”
“I’m not sure, but it seems likely.”
“This case might also involve Chairman Cha Seung Jo…”
“Since Executive Director Cha Min Woo led these projects, he must be aware of them, and it’s unlikely that Chairman Cha, being astute with numbers, doesn’t know about this.”
“It seems I’ve opened Pandora’s box.”
“Pandora’s box, huh? If it’s already opened, we must dig deeper, Director. If we’re talking hundreds of billions, not just thousands, it’s an abscess that will burst eventually. Though we need to look closely.”
“Do you have any reliable personnel to help us open this box of mysteries, Director?”
“Yes, I have a few. And the best course of action would be to find more detailed number files, the files where the numbers were directly manipulated… Since Executive Director Cha Min Woo was the project leader, he might have those documents.”
“Understood. I’ll start with reviewing the documents, and if necessary, I’ll look for someone inside who might be aware of the situation.”
