Scope                            

Reckon Group includes Reckon Limited and all its subsidiary companies.

This policy is consistent with the Statement of Values.

Diversity & Inclusion

The Reckon Group recognises that diversity and inclusiveness are a critical aspect of the effective management of its people and their contributions to the success of the Reckon Group. Diversity means differences in gender, marital or family status, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disabilities, ethnicity, religious beliefs, cultural background, socio-economic background, perspective and experience as reflected across the Reckon Group employees, consultants, contractors and visitors.

To enable and demonstrate a culture of diversity, all employees are required to behave ethically and professionally in the workplace. This of itself requires employees to be impartial, choose people for the right reasons, fair and reasonable treatment for all and equal employment opportunities.

Managers and supervisors are responsible for ensuring these equality principles are realised in their day to day management of their team.

The Reckon Group is committed to providing an environment that does not tolerate and is free from discrimination, harassment, vilification, victimisation and other inappropriate behaviour, in accordance with the relevant legislation and its policies and procedures already in place.

All complaints of discrimination, harassment or other inappropriate behaviour are to be taken seriously and to be addressed in accordance with the reporting and resolution processes.

Recruitment and selection practices at all levels in the Reckon Group aim to encourage applications from a diverse range of candidates.

Management is reminded that in recruitment and selection practices decisions should be made mindfully to guard against any conscious or unconscious biases that might discriminate against certain candidates.

The Reckon Group aspires to design and implement programs that will assist in the development of a broader and more diverse pool of skilled and experienced employees and that, over time, will prepare them for senior management and board positions.

The Reckon Group recognises that employees at all levels may have domestic responsibilities and as far as possible will adopt flexible work practices that will assist them to meet those responsibilities.

The Reckon Group maintains connection with employees on extended parental leave, including the option to receive all-staff communications, 10 fully paid check-in days, and they are invited to attend work functions and training programs.

Measurable objectives for achieving diversity are set by the Reckon Group. These objectives and the progress towards achieving them are disclosed in the Corporate Governance Statement.

Introduction

A summary of collective skills of current board.

Download the Summary of Board Skills Matrix >

1. Purpose

The Company is committed to a culture of corporate compliance and high ethical behaviour. This is reflective of an overall culture that embraces team based behaviour and accountability.

This policy deals with what you need to do if you have concerns about illegal conduct, malpractice, misconduct, breaches of internal controls or conflicts of interest.

This policy will be available to officers and employees of the Company on the Intranet.

It will also be referred to in induction processes.

From time to time reminders will be sent via the then usual company communications channels, eg: Slack, Teams, etc…

2. Application

This policy applies to all employees of the Company.

3. Objectives

The objectives of this policy are to:

• encourage employees to disclose (“blow the whistle on”) any illegal conduct, malpractice, misconduct, or conflicts of interest of which they become aware;
• provide protection for employees who report allegations of such illegal conduct, malpractice, misconduct, or conflicts of interest; and
• ensure that all allegations are thoroughly investigated with suitable action taken, where necessary.

4. Policy

This policy is designed to ensure that honesty and integrity is maintained.

A whistleblower is protected against adverse employment actions (dismissal, demotion, suspension, harassment, or other forms of discrimination) for raising allegations of malpractice, misconduct or conflicts of interest. Subject to this policy, a whistleblower is protected even if the allegations prove to be incorrect or unsubstantiated.

Employees who participate or assist in an investigation will also be protected. Every effort shall be made to protect the anonymity of the whistleblower, however there may be situations where anonymity cannot be guaranteed. In such situations, the whistleblower shall be fully briefed.

This policy is not designed to deal with general employment grievances and complaints.

All employees should be aware that if an employee makes a false report deliberately, maliciously, or for personal gain, that employee may face disciplinary action.

Below are some examples of reportable illegal conduct, malpractice, misconduct or conflicts of interest:

• dishonesty;
• fraud;
• bribery, corruption, collusion, conflict of interest (including unauthorized procurement of contracts with suppliers that are related parties);
• Financial misconduct, internal controls breach, expense reporting breach, misuse of corporate credit card, or other similar types of conduct;
• illegal activities (including theft, drug sale/use, violence, threatened violence, or criminal damage against Company assets/property);
• discrimination, vilification, sexual harassment, harassment, bullying and victimisation;
• acts or omissions in breach of Commonwealth or state legislation or local authority by- laws;
• unethical behaviour;
• other serious improper conduct (including gross mismanagement, serious and substantial waste of Company resources, or repeated breaches of administrative procedures);
• unsafe work-practices;
• any other conduct which may cause financial or non-financial loss to the Company or be otherwise detrimental to the interests or reputation of the Company, or any of its employees; and
• the deliberate concealment of information tending to show any of the matters listed above.

5. Protection of whistleblower

This policy protects the whistleblower against any reprisals, provided that the whistleblower identifies himself/herself, and the claim:

• is submitted in good faith and without any malice or intentionally false allegations;
• is based on the whistleblower’s reasonable belief that the malpractice or misconduct, or issue related to the malpractice or misconduct constitutes, or may constitute, a material violation; and
• does not result in a personal gain or advantage for the whistleblower.

No alleged illegal conduct, malpractice, misconduct, breaches of internal controls or conflicts of interest that meet the above-mentioned conditions will give rise to any reprisals or threat of reprisals against the whistleblower, unless the whistleblower is a participant in the prohibited activities about which the complaint is made. In those circumstances, the decision to file the complaint is only likely to affect the extent of the disciplinary measures (if any) that may eventually be taken against the whistleblower. This effectively means that the Company and its directors, officers, employees and agents will not penalise, dismiss, demote, suspend, threaten or harass a whistleblower, or transfer the whistleblower to an undesirable job or location, or discriminate in any manner against the whistleblower, take reprisals or retaliate as a result of the whistleblower having reported an act that is illegal or unethical, or deemed illegal or unethical, unless the whistleblower is a participant in the illegal or unethical act(s).

The Company considers any reprisals against a whistleblower to be a serious breach of this policy and one likely to result in disciplinary measures, including dismissal. This protection applies to anyone providing information related to an investigation pursuant to this policy.

6. Confidentiality

The Company recognises that maintaining appropriate confidentiality is crucial in ensuring potential whistleblowers comes forward and disclose their knowledge or suspicions about illegal conduct, malpractice or misconduct in an open and timely manner and without fear of reprisals being made against them. Where the law so requires the identity of the whistleblower will be kept confidential, but the Company may need to know who you are for purposes of investigation.

The Company will take all reasonable steps to protect the identity of the whistleblower and will adhere to any statutory requirements in respect of the confidentiality of disclosures made. In appropriate cases, disclosure of the identity of the whistleblower or the allegation made by them may be unavoidable. Depending on the impact on any investigation, the person about whom any disclosure is made will be informed of the disclosure.

7. Reporting procedures

Any person who has reasonable grounds to suspect that illegal conduct, malpractice, misconduct, or conflict of interest has occurred is encouraged to report that suspicion to the person’s manager, or if this is considered inappropriate, is encouraged to raise any concerns with the HR Manager by phone 9134 3362, or email jessica.morris@reckon.com. Any items of concern may also be raised with the CEO.

All claims of illegal conduct, malpractice, misconduct or conflict of interest should provide specific, adequate and pertinent information with respect to, among other things, dates, places, persons/witnesses, amounts, and other relevant information, in order to allow for a reasonable investigation to be conducted. If the whistleblower discloses his/her name, the person receiving the claim will acknowledge having received the complaint and may initiate a follow-up meeting. However, if the claim is submitted on an anonymous basis there will be no follow-up meeting regarding the claim of malpractice or misconduct and the Company will be unable to communicate with the whistleblower if more information is required or if the matter is to be referred to external parties for further investigation.

Please remember that all claims of illegal conduct, malpractice, misconduct or conflict of interest received are treated on a confidential basis and whistleblowers are encouraged to disclose their identity to obtain the protection afforded to them at law.

The Group CEO must report any material incidents under this policy to the Company Secretary who shall report it in turn to the Chairman and the Board. If there is any doubt as to what constitutes a “material” breach you must contact the Company Secretary to discuss this.

8. Procedures following disclosure

Once a report of suspected illegal conduct, malpractice, misconduct or conflict of interest has been received from a whistleblower who has provided reasonable grounds for their belief that illegal conduct, malpractice, misconduct or conflict of interest has occurred, an investigation of those allegations shall commence.

9. Investigations

Investigations will be conducted promptly and fairly with due regard for the nature of the allegation and the rights of the persons involved in the investigation. Evidence, including any materials, documents or records shall be held securely by the investigator. The person receiving the disclosure must report it as soon as possible to his or her manager or HR Manager or the CEO. The CEO shall then determine if the allegation is, in fact, pertinent to any of the issues mentioned in this policy.

The CEO will determine the appropriate method for the investigation. In appropriate cases, the CEO may ask for the assistance of an internal or an external accounting or legal specialist, as the CEO deems necessary.

During the investigation, the investigator will have access to all of the relevant materials, documents, and records. The directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company must cooperate fully with the investigator. During the investigation, the CEO will use all reasonable means to protect the confidentiality of the information regarding the whistleblower.

10. Reporting

At the conclusion of the investigation, the investigator will prepare a report of the findings for the CEO. Where the final report indicates that the illegal conduct, malpractice, misconduct or conflict of interest has occurred, the final report will include recommendations for steps to be taken to prevent the malpractice, misconduct or conflict of interest from occurring in the future, as well as any action that should be taken to remedy any harm or loss arising from the illegal conduct, malpractice, misconduct, or conflict of interest including disciplinary proceedings against the person responsible for the conduct, and the referral of the matter to appropriate authorities, as is deemed necessary by the CEO.

11. Communications to the whistleblower

The Company shall ensure that, provided the claim was not submitted anonymously, the whistleblower is kept informed of the outcomes of the investigation of the relevant allegations, subject to the considerations of privacy of those against whom allegations are made.

12. Further information and advice

For further information, refer to any other related policies or contact HR Department or Company Secretary by telephone on 9134 3340 for further advice.

1. Introduction

Consistent with Reckon’s Statement of Values and Code of Conduct Reckon is committed to a high standard of legal and ethical behaviour.

Remember the core standard of the Statement of Values is to do the right thing.

This Policy is an important part of maintaining these standards and is to be read together with the Statement of Values and Code of Conduct.

Transparency International defines bribery as the offering, promising, giving, accepting or soliciting of an advantage as an inducement for action which is illegal, unethical or a breach of trust. A bribe is an inducement or reward offered, promised or provided in order to gain any commercial, contractual, regulatory or personal advantage and can take the form of gifts, loans, fees, rewards or other advantages. Sometimes these may also be referred to as pay-offs, facilitation payments, kickbacks, inflated commissions and the like.

Corruption is the abuse of your position for personal gain.

2. Scope

This Policy applies to anyone who is employed by or works at Reckon, including employees, contractors (including internal and external), consultants, and directors wherever located (collectively referred to as employees in this Policy).

3. Policy

Reckon prohibits bribes (directly or indirectly) and  no matter how  large or small in value. This means you must not give, offer, promise, accept, request or authorise a bribe. If you are ever in a position where you are offered a bribe, you should report this to your manager immediately. If you are offered invitations to conferences, speaking engagements, working lunches, entertainment or sporting events this is generally acceptable, but you must first obtain the written permission of your manager before accepting such invitations. You must disclose full details of any invitations especially where flights and accommodation are included. Genuine gifts and hospitality may also be accepted provided that the value or scale of the gift or hospitality is proportional and reasonable in the circumstances. In all cases you must immediately report the gift or hospitality (or the offer of them) to your manager. Offers of cash must always be declined.

4. Reporting

Always immediately report any suspected bribery or corruption to your manager in writing.

Your manager must in turn report this to the Group CEO.

The Group CEO must report it to the board.

You can also use the process in the Whistleblower Policy to report bribery and corruption.

5. Consequences

If you do not comply with this Policy, you will face disciplinary action. This may include termination of your employment. If you break the law you may also be personally liable to pay fines and face imprisonment.

6. Review

This policy will be subject to review and amendment from time to time, if required.

This statement of values sets the guiding principles and norms to define what type of organisation Reckon Limited aspires to be.

More specifically it sets the context for the standard of behavior expected of directors, senior executives and employees to achieve that aspiration.

There are several specific policy documents in the company that govern your behaviour and personal interaction, including: Code of Conduct, Anti-bribery and Corruption Policy, Whistleblower Policy, Discrimination Bullying and Harassment Policy, Directors Code of Conduct, and Workplace Health and Safety Policy.

This statement sets the tone for your behavior in relation to these specific policies, but also generally what culture we are trying to cultivate.

At the very least we all should behave and interact lawfully, ethically (morally) and responsibly.

Put another way it means always do the right thing.

Our starting point is that – unavoidably – this is a workplace and the expectation is that you are here to work, and are prepared to work hard when appropriate.

This expectation is compounded by the fact that Reckon is a publicly listed company, so your behavior and interactions are also measured by the expectations of shareholders and the regulatory bodies that protect shareholders, such as the ASX and ASIC.

We expect you to do the right thing, not only because that is the legal and regulatory expectation and key to maintaining our reputation, but because it is the right thing.

In this context the key values that are expected to drive our behaviour and interaction are:

• Integrity
• Honesty
• Communication
• Respect
• Diversity
• Inclusiveness
• Equality
• Accountability
• Responsibility
• Safety
• Well being
• Supportive
• Friendly
• Enjoyment
• Flexibility

We then expect these values to govern the way you behave on a day to day basis to contribute to achieving the goals of the company as articulated from time to time, for example in National Team Meetings.

So bearing those values in mind:

• Take ownership and contribute everyday
• Break out of your comfort zone
• Bring your best to work
• Want to be here
• Pursue innovation
• Share your ideas
• Challenge yourself and others, respectfully
• Exceed customer expectations
• Seek and act on feedback
• Create better customer experiences
• Have fun
• Pursue growth.

The Board has approved this Statement of Values and will review it annually to keep it up to date and consistent with evolving regulatory expectations and changes to the business.
