I was the signing authority at our company which was acquired this year, by a French based company. The Indian entity decided to integrate with our company and while doing so they moved me into a new role and laid off two of my staff. They then forced me to resign 2 weeks ago on grounds that some purchases that we had done were over priced, some transactions that i had approved, had some discrepencies, such as order quantity being higher than necessary, etc. During the investigations, they did not call me or interrogate me or give me any chance to clarify. They said that if they had given me a chance to clarify and i was not able to, then there would be other complications which could jeopardize my career.
While asking me to leave, they said they know that i was not involved in any fraud, but since i had signed, i was accountable. They also promised 3 months notice period, gratuity and profit sharing.
Last week, when I called HR, she said that they are conducting a fraud investigation as they have found more issues. They want me to come and help them respond to these. There was a transaction with the landlord of the facility, which may cause them loss of money deposited with landlord. Since we had a good relation with the landlord and I have signed the transactions they want me to help. They say they will settle my full and final only once they obtain the deposit.
What am I supposed to do now.
