Whistleblower procedures are approved internally to ensure that the Whistleblower who reports incidents of misconduct in good faith is afforded the utmost confidentiality and effective protection against any retaliation or reprisals, whether actual or threatened, as a result of whistleblowing.
The Whistleblower Procedures are based on the applicable principles laid down under the Uniform Framework for Preventing and Combating Fraud and Corruption developed by the International Financial Institutions Anti-Corruption Task Force.
The requirement for reporting instances of non-compliance with the Bank’s policies and procedures (misconduct) to the Compliance and Investigations Department are enshrined in its Anti-Corruption, Anti-Fraud and Anti-Money Laundering policies as well as the Code of Business Conduct & Ethics of the Bank. Any Bank staff who observes an act of misconduct in the Bank’s operations has an obligation to report such information to the Compliance and Investigations Department immediately.
Persons who are not employed by the Bank may also contact the Compliance and Investigations Department of NDB regarding allegations of misconduct and/or wrongdoing (including in relation to corruption, fraudulent practices and instances of money laundering) in NDB-financed projects and/or against NDB staff members:
