How Bids Were Manipulated

I paid bribes to secure contracts on behalf of my employer. The harm affected competitors excluded from fair bidding and customers who paid inflated prices. I concealed the payments by routing them through consultancy fees and entertainment expenses. Official tender paperwork was completed correctly and approvals were documented. I benefited through bonuses and promotion as revenue increased. Internal audits focused on compliance with process, not intent. The contracts remained in place and no investigation followed. The records still show lawful procurement and my role is listed as successful performance rather than corruption.
