OF MISCONDUCT
BBNC is committed to full cooperation
with any government agencies
responsible for either investigation
or corrective actions and expects its
employees to share this commitment to
cooperation. It is extremely important
that, in all instances, employees be
truthful and accurate in all statements
made and information given to
regulatory and law enforcement officials. BBNC reserves the right to use any
lawful method of investigation, which
it deems necessary, to determine
whether any person has engaged in
conduct, which in its view interferes
with or adversely affects its business
or violates this Code.
BBNC may be asked for information
from government agencies or may be
the subject of governmental audits,
inspections, or investigations. All such
inquiries should be referred to the BBNC
Compliance Department. BBNC will
never lie or make misleading statements,
attempt to cause another employee to
fail to provide accurate information and/
or obstruct, mislead, or unnecessarily
delay the communication of information
or records related to a possible violation
of the law. During such investigation,
the BBNC Compliance Department will
work to assure our responses are timely,
complete, and factual.
Every employee and consultant are
expected to cooperate fully with any
investigation of any violation of law,
this Code, BBNC policies and
procedures, or respective subsidiary
policies and procedures.
