COMBATING BREACHES OF INTEGRITY

For example:

For example:

A breach of integrity is any act of deception designed to gain an improper or illegal advantage. They may be subject to prosecution. Examples include theft, extortion, embezzlement, abuse of trust, concealment, money laundering, corruption (see page 12), influence peddling (see page 16), offence of favoritism, unlawful taking of interest, misappropriation of public funds, insider dealing or the misuse of company assets, concussion, collusion, coercive practices (see page 28) obstructionist maneuvers and usurpation of identity/of office.

I am an accountant. One Friday at 4 PM, I get a phone call from someone claiming to be the Chief Executive Officer, instructing me to make an immediate funds transfer to an account, and giving me the details of the account.

I am away on mission and would like to bring a present back for my kids. I use my Groupe ADP bank card to pay for it.

Is this acceptable behavior?

Should I comply?

This is an abuse of trust. A business bank card may only be used for work- related purposes.

This could be an attempted fraud, commonly known as “CEO fraud”. I must make sure I follow the correct procedure, including letting my manager know and starting all required validation processes.

BEST PRACTICES

BE AWARE  In cases of suspected fraud, be sure to inform your manager, the Legal Department, or the Group’s Ethics & Compliance officer.

Every employee should be proactive in preventing fraudulent behavior:  Enforce all applicable instructions and procedures.  Protect the company’s assets and inventory (facilities, equipment, etc.).  Track all actions and retain all supporting documents.

STRICTLY FORBIDDEN  Agreeing to ignore the company’s procedures.
