Dynamic Fluid Control Ethics & Fraud Hotline
Advance Call was appointed as an independent third-party company to host the Dynamic Fluid Control Ethics & Fraud Hotline.The Association of Certified Fraud Examiners recently published a global study on occupation fraud and abuse. In the findings, 40% of occupation fraud cases within companies were detected by a tip-off, whereas only 15% were detected through audits. Employees contributed to more than 50% of the tip-offs and fraud losses were 50% smaller at organisations with ethics and fraud hotlines
The Protected Disclosures Act (PDA) provides protection to whistleblowers who wish to disclose information regarding possible unlawful or irregular conduct by their employer or fellow employees. Under the PDA, whistleblowers have the right to remain anonymous when making a disclosure. Advance Call offers the possibility for the whistleblower to provide his / her contact information with the explicit understanding that it will not be shared with the recipient or anyone else. In such cases, Advance Call will be able to contact the whistleblower to obtain more information, if needed, thereby increasing the chances of a disclosure being successfully investigated and concluded.
Disclosures can be made on any incidents or behaviours that may possibly be considered unlawful or irregular. The disclosures received are categorised as follows:
- Fraud (forgery, falsification of documents/claims, identity theft, misrepresentation)
- Corruption (any form of bribery, third party collusion, contract and procurement irregularities)
- Theft (unlawful and intentional removal of company property with the intention to permanently deprive the company of the benefit thereof)
- Misconduct (harassment, any form of discrimination, intimidation, abuse/misuse of company property, time and attendance abuse, abuse of authority)
- Unethical Behaviour (favouritism, nepotism, conflicts of interest)
How to make a disclosure:
Disclosures can be reported to the Dynamic Fluid Control Ethics & Fraud Hotline 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The disclosure will be captured by Advance Call and will be reported to a recipient within Dynamic Fluid Control in order for the matter to be investigated. The whistleblower can at any time enquire about the status of a disclosure and possible further steps taken, as well as provide more information and/or evidence.
