Fox's initial report had advanced Barnes' understanding of Megametals' position in the West African country, but left him with important questions:
Veracity Worldwide: Evaluating FCPA-Related Risks in West Africa
Had Megametals' CSR initiatives shaded into bribery (or even, could the two be distinguished from one another)?
How could the company's CSR efforts be used/extended for strategic advantage?
If the existing government changed, how bad could the fallout be for the company? Would there be anything he could do to mitigate/reverse the damage?
What additional information does need in order to reach a sufficient level of confidence in the investment?
