5.1 Examples

5.1.1 Fraud

Fraud is commonly used to describe a wide range of misconducts including theft, corruption, embezzlement, bribery, forgery, misrepresentation, collusion, money laundering and concealment of material facts. It often involves the use of deception to make a personal gain for oneself, a connected person or a third party, or a loss for another - intention is the key element that distinguishes fraud from irregularity. Fraud does not just have a potential financial impact, but it can cause damage to the reputation of an organisation responsible for managing funds effectively and efficiently.

Money laundering is the illegal process of making large amounts of money generated by a criminal activity, such as drug trafficking or terrorist funding, appear to have come from a legitimate source. The money from the criminal activity is considered "dirty", and the process "launders" it to make it look clean.

We keep a log of any disclosures and whistleblowing details. We will conduct investigation into all credible concerns that are reported.

We recognize that in some cases whistleblowers may not feel comfortable identifying themselves. In these cases, reports may be submitted anonymously. Please note, however, that anonymous reports could limit our ability to thoroughly investigate a concern.

Upon receipt of any concerns raised under this policy, our Compliance Officer will evaluate whether the concern is within the scope of this policy and will assess the severity of the concern and determine whether a further investigation is required to properly resolve the matter.

Appointed investigators will be completely detached from any teams related to the subject matter of the reports. Investigations may, in certain circumstances and particularly where the matter is sensitive or serious, be conducted by external parties and/or relevant regulators and authorities.

We are committed to the fair treatment of all individuals who are involved in an investigation, including those who are under investigation or those whose identity becomes relevant in the course of an investigation.
