Maxis Berhad | Annual Report 2013

58 Maxis Berhad | Annual Report 2013 A secure reporting mechanism for employees and third parties called the ‘Ethics Hotline’ has been established to report any alleged unethical behavior, actual or suspected fraud within the Group. Dedicated channels for reporting have been set up. These channels, under the custodian of the Internal Audit Department, are: (i) Call or SMS to Ethics Hotline number (03-2330 6678 or 017-200 3922); (ii) Email to ethics@maxis.com.my ; (iii) Send letters/documents to the Ethics Hotline Office c/o Internal Audit Department (Level 21, Menara Maxis, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, 50088 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia). The Board and the Management give their assurance that employees’ and third parties’ identities are kept confidential and that whistle-blowers will not be at risk to any form of victimisation or retaliation from their superiors or any member of the Management provided that they act in good faith in their reporting. All concerns raised will be investigated by a team comprising Internal Audit, Human Resource personnel and/or line management. All fraud and cases of unethical conduct will be deliberated at the Defalcation Committee (an internal committee comprising Senior Management as members) which meets regularly on matters pertaining to fraud and unethical practices. A report and updates on the fraud and cases of unethical conduct are provided to the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis.
