Even falsifying information or accounts to make business to look better than it actually is, perhaps to give their shares at a higher value. It is in the principles interests to make sure contracts are binding and to maximise profits, but in agent’s interests is prestige and luxury that the company cannot afford. The reason for this is that they often employ other agents to run their business.
