Boots on the ground isn't enough. Even in a company where everyone is physically at the same location overseeing who does what work is near impossible for any large scale projects. But yes, please let management know that outsource is only attractive on paper. Every experience I have had with it is has been bad. The communication gap is just so much larger and your ability to oversee what gets done and how it gets done just evaporates. The ethical/legal problem is just one result of that, but even without it outsourcing often just costs far more in hidden expenses.
