The recent revelations about the theft of approximately 900 engines from the Kia manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh have raised serious concerns about the internal controls and operational robustness of the company. According to initial reports and statements by law enforcement officers, these thefts began as far back as 2020 and continued undetected for nearly five years. While the investigation is still in progress and no final findings have been declared, certain obvious systemic weaknesses can already be speculated upon, purely based on the scale and nature of the incident.
