Whistleblowing Policy
The ITUS Whistleblowing Framework provides a platform for individuals to disclose any observed improprieties that involve ITUS’ employees and/or business partners, without fear of reprisal. All instances of whistleblowing will be independently reviewed and investigated.
Whistleblowers should report their concerns in good faith. The whistleblower’s identity and the concerns raised will be kept confidential, unless as required by the law to reveal to parties such as lawyers, the police or investigators.
Types of Improprieties
Any person, external or internal is encouraged to report to the relevant authorities of ITUS about possible improprieties in matters of financial reporting, unethical behaviour, malpractices, illegal acts or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, which shall include but not limited to the following:
- fraud;
- corruption, bribery and blackmail;
- criminal offences;
- miscarriage of justice;
- endangerment of an individual’s health and safety;
- abuse of position or information;
- concealment of any or a combination of the above.
For allegation of corrupt practices, please report to the Police or Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) at 1800-376-0000.
