ANTI-CORRUPTION AND BUSINESS ETHICS

The Caseware Group of companies (hereinafter “Caseware”) is a trusted supplier of financial technology to governments, auditors, and businesses around the world.  We build relationships with our partners and customers based on trust and a mutual understanding of a responsible and ethical business.  Integrity and fair dealing are essential to our business and in the way we deal with others.

Anti-Corruption

Caseware has a zero-tolerance policy regarding corruption and bribery. Participation in corruption is an unacceptable and illegal activity, which tarnishes our brand and destroys future business opportunities, places our employees in both punishable and morally disputable situations, and has a destructive impact on society and the markets it affects.

No employee nor any other person representing Caseware such as agents, suppliers, joint venture partners or others, may on any occasion, neither directly or indirectly, offer anything of value to any person that directly or indirectly represents a client or a supplier in order to gain an advantage or as a reward for a favour.

Business Practices

Caseware endeavors to have a safe workplace environment that is free from harassment or discrimination, and values the diversity in background, experience and talent of each individual.

Caseware complies with the Ontario Human Rights Code and does not discriminate in hiring due to race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, gender, ethnic origin, age, marital or family status, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, creed, or religion.

Confidential and Personal Information

Caseware and its employees have a duty to protect confidential and personal information in accordance with Caseware’s Privacy Policy, and its Client Confidentiality, Accountability and Safeguards Policy.

The objectives of these policies are to ensure that client data and privacy is protected in accordance with applicable legal standards, specifically the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act.

We are trusted with confidential information and are committed to ensuring that we protect the privacy and security of client information, through implementation of internationally recognized standards and meeting the legal standards of countries in which we operate.
