BOI Insurance Brokers Limited Whistle Blowing Policy attempts to provide an enabling and protective environment to all stakeholders in the BOI Insurance Brokers Limited to disclose information about an event, act or omission that they reasonably believe will impact negatively on the BOI Insurance Brokers Limited, any of its stakeholders and the general public should it occur.
The Policy is committed to the highest possible standards of openness, probity and accountability. In line with that commitment we expect employees and everyone that we deal with, who have serious concerns about any aspect of the BOI Insurance Brokers Limited activities, to come forward and voice those concerns. It is recognized and understood that all cases will have to be treated on a confidential basis.
The Policy sets out the processes and procedures for communicating and disclosing information and how such information will be investigated.
Disclosure of concerns shall be made directly to the designated channels or where thought necessary by the complainant, to relevant senior staff.
Most importantly, the Policy aims to protect the whistle blower from reprisals, reprimand, dismissal or discriminatory treatment arising from the making of the complaint or disclosure of the information regarding the act.
This policy is designed to enable employees and other stakeholders of the BOI Insurance Brokers Limited to raise concerns internally and at a higher level and to disclose information, which the individual believes connotes malpractice or impropriety.

- provide avenues to raise one’s concerns and receive feedback on any action taken;

- reassure employees and stakeholders that if they follow the laid down processes in communicating their observation and concerns, they will be shielded from reprisals and victimization;
