At Grant Thornton, we all have a responsibility to report suspected or known violations of laws and/or regulations, our Code of Conduct and other policies (including those related to the system of quality control supporting our audit and attest practices). We also have a responsibility to raise concerns about unethical conduct. If you see or hear something, we want you to say something.
There are multiple acceptable internal channels available to report unethical behavior and concerns, and we are encouraged to use them. These reporting channels may vary, so it is important to consult your local policies for direction. Acceptable channels typically include:
Additionally, you may also choose to report your concerns to this Ethics Hotline.
When making a report through the Ethics Hotline, you may want to look at the information contained in the Frequently Asked Questions. This FAQ document explains some of the technical aspects of the reporting process and explains the safeguards that are built into both the online and phone reporting systems. We want you to feel comfortable speaking up. We will make every effort to protect the confidentiality of those who report concerns to us. However, if you wish to make your report anonymously, you may do so through this hotline. We prohibit retaliation against personnel who report a concern in good faith or assist with an investigation.
Once you select the Report a Concern box on the left, you will be automatically guided through the entire process. If you would be more comfortable speaking with a Hotline representative, you may do so by selecting the corresponding phone number for your location under Report a Concern, By Phone. In either case, your report will be routed initially to EthicsPoint, an independent third-party host for our Ethics Hotline. After your report is reviewed for completeness, it will be promptly (in less than 24 hours) forwarded to the appropriate Grant Thornton authority for review and investigation.
This Ethics Hotline is for Grant Thornton Advisors LLC and the domestic and international firms that have joined its multi-national platform, their service centers, respective alternative practice structure platform members, and affiliates/subsidiaries.
EthicsPoint is not a 911 or Emergency Service. Do not use this site to report events presenting an immediate threat to life or property. Reports submitted through this service may not receive an immediate response. If you require emergency assistance, please contact your local authorities.
