Corus International is proud to be a supporting organization of International Fraud Awareness Week 2022.
International Fraud Awareness Week was established by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) in 2000 as a dedicated time to raise awareness about fraud. The week-long campaign encourages business leaders and employees to proactively take steps to minimize the impact of fraud by promoting anti-fraud awareness and education.>
As part of our active participation, Corus is convening a series of training sessions and discussions with our global staff, covering the following key topics:
- Ethics Liaison Network
- Code of conduct & incident reporting
- Fraud and corruption & incident reporting
- Preventing sexual exploitation, abuse and harassment & incident reporting
- Whistleblowing & incident reporting
Corus' Integrity and Ethics Reporting Hotline makes it easy for staff or third parties to report an incident about workplace issues like fraud, harassment, theft, policy violations and other concerns. The system provides options for anonymous reporting and is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, in multiple languages.
