Citibank fraud at Gurgaon could have been avoided

Not that "Blowing My Own Trumpet" is a regular business practice but
it is merely a fact that i came across this blog while the memory of
this Rs.300-crore SCAM [?] is fresh in everyone's mind.

If you care to go back to the previous post here, there is a mention
of "systems" and that is precisely the commodity that Citibank found
missing at their Gurgaon office.
Or, even if they claim to have had any in place,then it is pretty much
obvious that the systems in place were lacking in the very ingredients
that, though as an afterthought, were found to be absolutely necessary.

Mr. V. Ramakrishnan, the Nobel laureate in Chemistry for 2010 can be
a suitable example to quote about the need for sincerity in any field

CONSULTANT Available : Are Banks Listening ?

Every bank claims to have a SYSTEM in place, yet it always is to the
detriment of the customer.
Of course, they will gladly welcome you as a new customer but then,
the responsibility for " customer care " after you become one will
devolve on a separate "UNIT" and not on those people who interacted
with you and convinced you about the bank's MATCHLESS SERVICES.
Sounds familiar ?

CUSTOMER CARE also appears to have a distinctly different meaning
for different BANKS.
