Fraud and Theft Prevention Policy

PURPOSE:
To prevent and detect fraud and theft, assign responsibility for implementing appropriate controls to prevent
and detect fraud and theft, establish the appropriate reporting mechanisms to be used for notification of known
or suspected fraud and theft, and establish the consequences for fraud and theft by employees.
APPLIES TO:
All O2O Holdings (PTY) LTD employees, customers, contractors, consultants, or other parties related to the
O2O Holdings.

POLICY STATEMENT:
Scope of Policy
O2O Holdings employees must comply with applicable state and national law.

As a publicly supported company, O2O Holdings has a fiduciary responsibility to conserve, preserve, and
efficiently use all company resources.

This policy applies to any known or suspected fraud or theft involving employees, customers, , contractors,
consultants, or other parties related to the O2O holdings (PTY) LTD.

Prevention and Detection of Fraud and Theft


O2O holdings employees shall not perpetrate, engage in, or otherwise facilitate the act of committing fraud and
theft.

The Managing director and Operational Manger are responsible for establishing the controls to prevent and
detect fraud and theft. The management are responsible for knowing the types of improprieties that might
occur within their areas of responsibility and for identifying and assessing any irregularities. O2O Holdings
employees are responsible for the prevention and detection of fraud and theft that might occur within the scope
of their work assignments and for reporting any known or suspected fraud and theft.

Reporting Known or Suspected Fraud and Theft


Employees are responsible for immediately reporting known or suspected incidents of fraud, including theft
and misappropriation of University Assets, to either the Internal Audit Department or the appropriate campus
Public Safety office.

Any employee who has knowledge of fraud or theft of University Assets by any person or organization,
including another employee, and does not report it to University officials may be subject to disciplinary action,
up to and including termination of employment.
If the initial notification is to the Internal Audit Department, Internal Audit shall notify the appropriate campus
Public Safety office and vice versa.

Investigation of Reports of Known or Suspected Fraud and Theft


The campus Public Safety office shall investigate allegations of fraud and theft in accordance with University
established policies and procedures.
The Internal Audit Department shall be responsible for ascertaining the extent of loss, and for reviewing and
evaluating control and/or process failures related to the loss. Internal Audit will also notify the University
Chief Business and Financial Planning Officer, Office of the General Counsel, the Provost/Executive Vice
Chancellor, Lawrence Campus, and/or the Executive Vice Chancellor, Medical Center.
Any employee who suspects fraudulent activity should not attempt to personally conduct an investigation
related to the activity. If the employee elects to notify department management first, then department
management must immediately notify the Internal Audit Department or the appropriate campus Public Safety
office before taking any other action. Concerns about work performance and workplace behavior that are
unrelated to fraudulent activity should be resolved by department management and Human Resources
(Lawrence) or Human Resources (Medical Center): they should not be reported under the fraud and theft
policy. If there are any questions about what constitutes fraud and theft, the Internal Audit Department should
be contacted.
Reports and investigations of allegations of fraud and theft ordinarily will be kept confidential to the
reasonable extent possible under law and consistent with the need to conduct an adequate investigation and
take corrective action.
CONSEQUENCES:
If appropriate University officials conclude that an employee has engaged in fraud or theft, appropriate
disciplinary action will be pursued, up to and including termination of employment, in accordance with
applicable personnel policies for faculty and staff. In addition, employees engaging in fraud or theft will be
required to pay restitution, including the cost of the investigation.
Employees of the University of Kansas who engage in fraudulent activity or theft are not acting within the
scope of their employment and should not expect protection for their acts under either the Kansas Tort Claims
Act or any applicable University insurance policy.
It is the policy of the University of Kansas to pursue legal action based on the merits of the case in consultation
with the Office of the General Counsel.

Ordinarily, the submission of a resignation by an employee accused or suspected of fraud or theft will not
preclude later disciplinary action, including restitution and legal action. If restitution is required, payment
arrangements will be established with the office of the Provost/Executive Vice Chancellor, Lawrence Campus,
or the Executive Vice Chancellor, Medical Center.
