Ethics & Compliance

International Medical Corps and Ethics and Compliance

To support this zero tolerance approach and to provide assurance that the International Medical Corps’ ethical standards contained in its Code of Conduct & Ethics are upheld, the International Medical Corps’ Committee for Compliance, Audit and Risk Management, a committee of the Board of Directors, has appointed Cornelis Klumper as its Chief Audit & Compliance Officer to ensure that International Medical Corps has a living, effective compliance program.

The International Medical Corps Ethics and Compliance Department helps make sure that International Medical Corps, its employees, directors, officers, consultants, suppliers and other business partners respect and uphold the standards in its Code of Conduct & Ethics, as well as the legal, regulatory and donor requirements under which we operate. The Ethics and Compliance Department receives reports of suspected violations and investigates them as appropriate. It emphasizes throughout the organization the importance of ethics and compliance and International Medical Corps’ non-retaliation policy that protects anyone who makes a good faith report of any suspected misconduct.
