Compliance Framework


Asia CEO Network adheres to a strong compliance structure that assures our Experts, our customers and our employees that we are committed to best practices. Our structure mitigates the risk involved in maintaining a far-reaching network of Experts from diverse cultural backgrounds, all of whom provide information for a range of Client needs. Our process has been developed through consultation with external legal counsel, adaptation of industry best practices, and is under the direct supervision of a Board of Directors and Advisors that have worked at the highest level for companies that serve as models for good corporate citizenship.

KEY POLICIES

  • Adherence to strict confidentiality standards is a cornerstone of our framework. All parties must agree to be bound by confidentiality agreements.
  • As part of the recruitment process, our trained Account Executives screen potential Experts on their eligibility and suitability to participate in specific projects.
  • As a condition of registration, Experts must agree that they will not disclose material, non-public information about any public or private company, organisation or institution.
  • All Experts are reminded that they have the right to refuse to answer questions which may or may not cause a breach of any confidentiality agreement the Expert may already have in place; and to stop the consultancy at any time should the information required by the Client be in breach of any confidentiality agreement.
  • Our Clients must agree to a contract with Asia CEO Network that prohibits them from asking Experts to reveal anything that might be considered material non-public information. Clients can specify additional requirements to be agreed by Experts before consulting on their assignments.
  • The identity of Experts or Clients is never revealed without the express consent of the parties involved.
  • Prior to registration, and periodically thereafter, Experts must complete a compliance tutorial that informs them of correct conduct in providing consultations.
  • Experts are advised that they should focus on providing general market or industry-specific information and should never provide investment, accounting, medical or legal advice nor should they discuss their employer or a company where they are a Director or Officer.

Asia CEO Network compiles feedback from Experts and Clients after each consultation and uses that information to constantly refine its compliance processes.
