This chapter unravels the fraud that had been perpetrated by James Guerin in compiling ISC’s accounts over many years. This requires a detailed analysis of the missile contracts that Guerin claimed to have secured in the Middle East, Pakistan and China. While Ferranti executives conducted extensive enquiries into the veracity of these contracts, it was almost two years after the merger before they realised the full extent of the fraud. The key theme will be the extent to which Ferranti executives continued to place considerable faith in Guerin’s claims, indicating the importance of trust in such relationships.
