History

2023

Cartel participation in mining IT projects

On September 7, 2023, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) announced that Swift Networks Pty Ltd (Swift) was fined AU $1.2 million (approximately $772 thousand at the exchange rate as of September 12, 2023) for participating in cartel activities. DXC Technology (owner of the Luxoft) was also named a member of the cartel.

Swift admitted to falsifying applications during tenders for the supply of technological infrastructure and services for three projects of the Pilbara mining village. These facilities are iron ore mines located in remote areas of Western Australia. As part of the project, it is necessary to ensure the supply of information systems, communication equipment and other solutions for providing Wi-Fi access and Internet connection in recreation rooms and public places at mining sites.

DXC Technology named as cartel member

The cartel, according to the case file, involved DXC Connect Pty Ltd and DXC Technology Australia Pty Ltd. Swift, the investigation found, agreed with the named companies that one of them, as part of a tender, would offer a higher price than the other. The essence of cartel collusion boils down to the fact that by falsifying applications, one of the participants is guaranteed to receive a contract. Cartel participants in the course of bidding can take turns becoming "winners" by agreeing on a way to submit tender applications. At the same time, some competitors may deliberately refuse to participate in the auction.

Bidding fraud is a serious violation of competition law. Such cartel actions could lead to higher prices for other businesses and, ultimately, for consumers, said ACCC Commissioner Lisa Carver[1]

Millions fine for cheating in financial statements

On March 14, 2023, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accused DXC Technology Company (the owner of Luxoft) of providing misleading information in its financial statements. In this regard, a large fine was imposed on the company.

The SEC filing states that DXC substantially overestimated non-GAAP net income (GAAP - generally accepted accounting principles). In particular, tens of millions of dollars in expenses were incorrectly classified as adjustments for transaction-related costs as well as resource-sharing and integration operations. DXC itself claims that the data published in the reports allows investors to "better understand the financial performance" of the company.

It is alleged that DXC provided incorrect data for several reporting periods from 2018 to early 2020. SEC experts concluded that the company violated the anti-fraud provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the reporting requirements of federal securities laws. Without acknowledging or denying the SEC's findings, DXC agreed to pay a $8 million fine and stop publishing untrue financial data. In addition, DXC pledged to develop and implement the necessary policies for the formation and control of financial statements.

Organizations that choose to report non-GAAP financial measures must accurately describe these measures in their public filings. DXC's procedures and controls were found not to meet the task, and as a result, investors were repeatedly misled about the company's financial performance, said Mark Cave, deputy director of the SEC's enforcement division.[2]
