Snowden's Former Employer Under Criminal Investigation For Fraudulent Billing (boozallen.com)

Posted by EditorDavid on from the worse-than-bad-Yelp-reviews dept.

McGruber writes: Booz Allen Hamilton, the contracting firm that was Edward Snowden's employer when he leaked classified information from the NSA has announced that it is under a federal civil and criminal investigation of its billing practices. The disclosure in a regulatory filing sent shares of parent company Booz Allen Hamilton Holding Corp. tumbling $7.33, or 18.6 percent, to $32 in Friday trading.

    Why is Edward Snowden's former employment (on the consulting side) relevant to what their accountants are doing?

    I submitted the story because (1) Booz employes many IT professionals and (2) I believe their billing practices reflect the corporation's Organizational Culture.

    If Booz is willing to defraud the federal government, how do you think they are going to treat their employees?

    After all, we're talking about a corporation of 22000 people here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    All the more reason to discuss the corporation's organizational culture!

    Snowden did NOT share the corporation's values, according to its CEO: “I told our employees Mr. Snowden was on our payroll for a short period of time, but he was not a Booz Allen person and he did not share our values. We cannot and will not let him define us.” -- Booz Allen’s chief executive, Ralph W. Shrader,
