I'm assuming with EK for both the DXB and US parts (although going PEK to US via DXB seems rather roundabout)? If so, EK definitely has some major internal control problems. Any properly designed system should be able to detect this type of activity - one reason internal auditors exist. To make sure that the control system actually can catch this type of activity
