It also defines that the candidate is claiming that the information mentioned by the candidate is true. The criticalness of the LOA depends on the way that it gives the organization the option to deny a functioning offer or even fire the employee if the data given intimates that the upcoming employee isn’t qualified for work according to the strategies of the association. This could be because of different things like universities and associations that the employee was related with however are boycotted by the organization. Moreover, If the claimed data gets out to be fake/forged or misrepresented then employer has the 100% authority to take stringent action on the candidate. Employer can even withdraw the offer if issued earlier then candidate is not permitted to go legal against the employer as the information given was misrepresented.
