Financial crime escalation process

It's for all Barnardo's trustees, employees and volunteers. 

• Details the required escalation procedure to be followed by any Barnardo’s trustee, employee or staff when they have identified a suspected, potential or actual:
  • fraud incident or policy breach
  • bribery and corruption incident or policy breach
  • terrorism incident or policy breach
  • money laundering incident or policy breach
  • conflicts of interest issue or policy breach
  • gifts and hospitality issue or policy breach

• Escalation must be documented using the financial crime escalation form below. Send this to reportfraud@barnardos.org.uk, monitored by Corporate Audit Inspection Unit (CAIU) no later than 24 hours after its discovery.
• Material issues (i.e. where value may exceed £100k or there is risk of significant reputational damage) should be escalated both verbally and through the form immediately.
• If in doubt as to whether an incident is a policy breach, report it!
