A report delivered by Willkie Farr & Gallagher into expenses payments at struggling oil explorer Afren has led the client to notify itself to the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) over the findings.
Afren said in a statement that it had notified the regulator of the investigation into ‘the hire of an individual within its operations in 2012 and the payment of certain travel and accommodation expenses connected to Afren’s activities’.
