How does the Integrity Helpline work?
Deloitte has contracted with EthicsPoint. to administer the Integrity Helpline. Because the Integrity Helpline is administered by a third-party vendor, we can provide our people a confidential tool with 24-hour access, and if requested, anonymous report submission. The Integrity Helpline's Web site is hosted on EthicsPoint's servers and the phone numbers are operated by EthicsPoint. A reporter's identity cannot be revealed through telephone or internet records.
When you place a call to the Integrity Helpline, the EthicsPoint call center specialist will capture your inquiry or report, asking you to provide detailed information. You may choose to remain anonymous when speaking with the call center specialist; however, doing so may limit the comprehensiveness of the investigation into the matter. Therefore, you are encouraged to identify yourself. You should also be prepared, if you are willing, to provide the names of witnesses and potential victims of the alleged unethical conduct to increase the effectiveness of an investigation into your complaint. While inquiries and reports may be submitted anonymously, we cannot guarantee confidentiality or anonymity as the nature of the issue and/or related case details may reveal the identities of those involved.
The specialist forwards your inquiry or report to the Deloitte LLP Ethics and Compliance Office, led by the Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer. The EthicsPoint call center specialist cannot provide you advice or resolve your issue over the phone. If your matter is urgent, s/he will provide you with information to contact the Ethics and Compliance Office directly so you can receive immediate assistance.
