Whistle-blowing policy

Policy Objectives and scope
Aidha is committed to a high standard of transparency, integrity, compliance and accountability. The whistle-blowing policy aims to provide a means through which employees or members of the public could, in good faith, report any activity that infringes on Aidha’s code of conduct or possible irregularities so that relevant action could be taken.

Whistle-blowing concerns
The policy covers serious concerns that could have a significant impact on Aidha. These include (a) fraudulent activity; (b) incorrect financial reporting; (c) unlawful activities; and (d) misconduct or unethical conduct.

Confidentiality and protection
Reports of whistle-blowing concerns are kept confidential to the extent possible to meet the needs of the investigation. Aidha is committed to protect a person who reports in good faith from intimidation, retaliation or adverse employment consequence.

Reporting channels
If employees or members of the public have cause to suspect serious concerns, a report can be made through the following means. All reports received will be channeled to the Board Chairman and the Chair of the Audit Committee.

Email: [email protected]
Tel: 6341 5287
Address: 748A North Bridge Road Singapore 198716

We encourage all parties who report such irregularities to provide their name and contact details, as appropriate follow-up clarification and investigations may not be able to be carried out if the source of information could not be identified. All concerns and/ or identity of the whistle-blower will be treated with strict confidentiality.  

Assessment of concerns raised and investigation
On receiving a report, the Board Chairman and the Chair of the Audit Committee shall decide on the severity and authenticity of the concern. When there are issues to be examined, an Investigation Team comprising of at least three independent members (not related to the concern reported) will be set up. The whistle-blower will be kept informed of the progress of the investigation and, if appropriate, of the final outcome.
