-
May lead to incorrect financial reporting;

-
Are not in line with a legal obligation or policy of the Group;

2. Reporting of Possible Improprieties
The Company believes that it is in the best interest of the Group to promote a conducive environment for employees and external parties to raise or report concerns about possible improprieties which they may encounter in full confidence and without fear of retaliatory action.

It is hereby determined that all Complaints shall be reported in writing to the WIC of the Company via the Whistleblowing Report Form.

Every employee and external party shall have unfettered right to file a complaint in good faith without malice or consideration of personal benefit. Such parties shall not be restricted in the exercise of such right as a reporting party. They are not investigators or finders of fact, nor do they determine the appropriate corrective or remedial action that may be warranted.
5. Prohibition of Obstructive Action
The Company will not tolerate nor condone any obstructive action being taken against any employee who wishes or intends to, or who is in the process of filing a complaint, and may institute disciplinary action or assist the said employee in taking a legal action, as it deems appropriate, against anyone found to have taken such obstructive action.
6. Prohibition of Retaliatory Action
The Company will not tolerate nor condone any retaliatory action taken against any reporting party who has filed a complaint and may institute disciplinary action against any employee or person found to have taken such retaliatory action.
Any report alleging retaliatory action or obstructive action will be received, reviewed and investigated by WIC in the same manner as any report alleging possible improprieties.
The above shall not preclude any administrative, disciplinary and/or other action being taken against any person who has committed or abetted the commission of the possible improprieties which is the subject matter of the complaint, notwithstanding that the person is the complainant or a witness in the investigation. However, the WIC would take into account the fact that he/she has co-operated by filing the complaint or provided information or documents as a witness to facilitate investigation.
