Purpose and Scope\n\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCCF is committed to maintaining high levels of integrity, ethics and honesty in our services and operations. To achieve high standards of corporate governance and compliance with all laws and regulatory requirements, CCF does not condone any wrongdoings, misconduct, or statutory non-compliance by our Management Committee members, employees or volunteers in the course of our work.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

CCF\u2019s Whistle-blowing Policy provides an avenue for anyone to report in confidence and without fear of retaliation or unfair treatment, any concerns about suspected misconduct or wrongdoing including corruption, fraudulent acts, cheating, theft, misuse of CCF\u2019s properties, assets or resources, breach of the organisation\u2019s policies, laws or regulations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Protection\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

CCF does not tolerate any harassment or victimisation and will take appropriate action to protect anyone reporting a genuine concern in good faith. Should there be harassment of the person who submitted the report, he\/she can make a report to the Audit Committee or the Management Committee Chairperson.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

No action will be taken against anyone who makes allegations in good faith reasonably believing it to be true, even if the allegation is not subsequently confirmed upon investigation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Acting in Good Faith\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Anyone filing a report concerning a violation or suspected violation should act in good faith and not make false accusations. False or malicious reports which lack any objective basis will not be tolerated, as this will cause unnecessary waste of time for management and anxiety to the person being investigated.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Anyone who knowingly or recklessly makes allegations that cannot be substantiated and\/or are maliciously or knowingly to be false shall be viewed as a serious violation of good faith and may be subject to appropriate disciplinary procedures.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Confidentiality\n<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The whistle-blower must be prepared to make his\/her identity known to the receiver of the complaint\/concern. The identity of the whistle-blower shall be treated with the strictest confidence.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Every effort will be made to ensure confidentiality of the matter unless relevant disclosure is required by law or statute. In such cases, the whistle-blower shall be informed in advance and the reasons made clear to him\/her. If the whistle-blower wishes to retain his\/her confidential status, he\/she has the option to withdraw the report to protect his\/her confidential status.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
