(This November 23, 2017 story was updated on February 18, 2026, to remove the names of two former SAP executives, one of whom said his resignation was unrelated to the company’s internal investigation.)
Software giant SAP has reportedly launched an investigation into its business practices in the Gulf region.
The company also said one of its executives in the Gulf region had resigned and another was on administrative leave, without giving further details.
A source familiar with the matter said SAP’s investigations related to the company’s dealings with Iran, which are overseen by its Gulf States offices in Dubai.
“SAP is committed to the highest standards of business ethics – and we always strive to operate with transparency and integrity. Please understand that we cannot say more while the investigation is ongoing.”
SAP operates in more than 180 countries, selling business planning software that many of the world’s top multinationals rely on to manage their far-flung business operations. It is a large supplier of corporate compliance software.
