GOVERNANCE

It is the responsibility of the Audit Committee to establish policies and practices to prevent financial fraud; monitor internal control process; arrange for a standard ‘whistle-blowing’ procedure.

Whistle-blowing policies and guidelines should be implemented within organizations and companies of any size, and whether publicly or privately owned, to reinforce ethical behavior among staff and employees.
Whistle-blowing policies are generally included in an organization’s code of ethics or code of conduct.

EMPLOYEES

One of the most important reasons to have an Employee Handbook is to ensure that staff members understand the organization’s standards of conduct / code of ethics.

Ethics Code: generic template/outline; how to implement an ethics code; advice on developing an ethics code; links to ethics code examples by industry.
