KENANGA INVESTMENT BANK BERHAD 136 INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2025 ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE STATEMENT CONTINUOUS TRAINING AND AWARENESS PROGRAMME The Group recognises that strong ethics and compliance outcomes are sustained through continuous education, regular engagement and visible reinforcement of expected behaviours. Throughout 2025, a series of education and awareness initiatives were implemented to strengthen ethical conduct, fraud awareness and regulatory understanding across the Group. These initiatives were designed to be accessible, relevant and engaging, supporting the objective of embedding integrity and vigilance into everyday work practices. 1. Compliance Awareness Week 2025 The Compliance Awareness Week 2025, held from 10 to 11 June 2025, served as one of the Group’s key enterprise-wide compliance engagement platforms for the year. Designed to make compliance accessible and practical, the two (2)-day programme drew strong participation across the organisation, demonstrating employees’ continued commitment to strengthening Kenanga’s compliance culture. To broaden reach beyond the main sessions, the accompanying Compliance Quiz attracted around 700 participants while approximately 250 employees visited the compliance-themed activity stations at Kenanga Tower. The programme featured external speakers who provided insights into real-world compliance challenges. The curated combination of expert‑led knowledge sessions and hands‑on activities reinforced the message that compliance must be reflected through behaviour, not merely policy awareness. The event, themed “Beyond the Rules: Voice It, Own It, Do It”, reaffirmed the Group’s position that integrity and accountability are essential to long‑term sustainability and stakeholder confidence. 2. Ethical Conduct and Fraud Awareness Poster Campaign In 2025, the Group implemented a two-week Ethical Conduct and Fraud Awareness poster campaign aimed at promoting ethical behaviour and deepening fraud awareness across the organisation. The campaign featured a series of thought-provoking posters displayed in common areas within Kenanga Tower, ensuring visibility to employees. To promote inclusivity, the posters were also made accessible through the Group’s internal SharePoint platform. Each poster carried a curated quote or message designed to prompt reflection on integrity, vigilance, accountability, and responsible decision-making. 3. Kenanga’s 9th Fraud Awareness Week Kenanga Group has been a Corporate Alliance Partner of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (“ACFE”) since 2015. The partnership reflects its strong commitment to combating fraud by fostering education, ethical leadership, and a strong tone from the top. In 2025, the Group organised its 9th annual Fraud Awareness Week (“FAW”) programmes from 17 – 21 November 2025 in conjunction with ACFE’s International FAW. The theme, “Building the Future with Compliance and Ethics as Our Compass – Trust, Transparency, Transformation”, underscored the Group’s commitment to ethical leadership, compliance discipline and proactive governance. The programmes conducted through FAW 2025 were designed to promote accountability, enhance fraud awareness and encourage collaboration across internal and external stakeholders.
