Whistleblowing & Reporting Wrongdoing
KAUST is committed to maintaining an ethical and transparent environment. To uphold these values, Internal Audit maintains a Policy on Whistleblowing and Reporting Wrongdoing, which affirms a zero-tolerance toward retaliation and outlines the designated departments responsible for receiving and addressing reports of suspected misconduct.
As the act of reporting concerns in good faith plays a critical role in preserving the integrity of the University and reinforcing a culture of trust and responsibility, a secure and confidential KAUST Whistleblowing Platform is available to all members of the KAUST community as well as any related parties, facilitating anonymous reporting.
Let’s take this opportunity to deepen our understanding of Internal Audit’s work and reaffirm our collective dedication to uphold the ethical values of our beloved University.
