Governance
Overview
IDH is committed to implementing best practices in corporate governance through the
expertise of both the individual Directors and outside parties
Anti-Bribery and Anti Corruption Policy (ABAC)
The IDH Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy requires compliance with the highest ethical
standards and all anti-corruption laws applicable in the countries in which IDH conducts
business (whether through a third party or otherwise).
No Referral Fee Policy
The practice of paying kickbacks is incompatible with the laws of most established
international jurisdictions. IDH maintains a strict policy on referral fees and prohibits the
payment of "commissions and financial incentives or making illegal profits" when
referring patients for medical tests.
Internal Audit Procedures
The Board has delegated oversight of the
Group's system of internal controls to the Audit
Committee to safeguard the assets of the Group
and the interests of shareholders.
The Audit Committee reviews the
effectiveness of the Group's internal controls on
an ongoing basis and reports back to the Board
with their findings and recommendations.
The Board has accordingly established that the
Group has in place internal controls to manage
risk including:
•
the outsourcing of the internal audit function
to professionals from Ernst & Young (EY) until
an Internal Auditor was appointed for the
Group on 16 May 2016;
While not required to comply
with UK Corporate Governance
Code, IDH aims to voluntarily
comply with aspects of the Code
while continually working toward
closing the gap with premium
listed entities on the London
Stock Exchange. To date, the
Company has established
four Board committees
(members on overleaf):
1 Nominations Committee
2
Remuneration Committee
Gift Policy
IDH is committed to serving our customers and working with our partners with the
highest standards of integrity. In line with this commitment, we adopt a "No Gift Policy"
whereby our employees are not allowed to exchange gifts with current or potential
customers, suppliers or business partners. This is to prevent any conflicts of interest, or
appearance of such in our business dealings.
