Violation Description: The Director of the Serious Fraud Office took action in the High Court, which resulted in an Order for Macmillan Publishers Limited, to pay in excess of £11 million in recognition of sums it received which were generated through unlawful conduct related to its Education Division in East and West Africa. The Order was made under Part 5 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. The initial enquiry commenced following a report from the World Bank.

The Company did not win the contract.
