Corruption Prevention and Ethics Line


BDO provides assistance in the process of your organization becoming compliant with the general corruption prevention regime (RGPC), a regime applicable to legal entities based in Portugal that employ 50 or more workers.


Ethics Line (Reporting Channel)

Legal entities based in Portugal that employ 50 or more workers have a legal obligation to have an internal reporting channel, which we prefer to call the Ethics Line.

BDO provides the management of the Reporting Channel as a service, which includes not only the technological solution but also the management of the entire process, in an independent and practical way.

The BDO Portugal solution guarantees:

  • Compliance with new legislation
  • Safe, transparent and user-friendly process for whistleblowers
  • GDPR compliant
  • An auditable procedure (on-time)
  • Full digital archive
  • Adaptable solution to your options

 
BDO manages its Ethics Line

  • Receive complaints (written or oral)
  • Report screening
  • Follow-up of complaints
  • Monitoring the ongoing investigation process at the target entity
  • Maintain contact with the complainant, even if anonymous, until the report is closed
  • Prepare the final report of the complaint.
