Equity Group Expands Rigorous Anti-Fraud Drive to Uganda Amid Deepening Governance Overhaul
- Equity Group has initiated a 'culture of accountability' campaign in Uganda to reinforce internal controls.
- The campaign follows the dismissal of more than 1,500 Kenyan staff over alleged fraudulent activities.
- Equity Bank Uganda is conducting routine audits and evaluating staff performance to prevent conflicts of interest.
Equity Group's proactive approach to addressing internal fraud and enhancing governance is commendable, especially given the scale of the issues faced in Kenya. However, the effectiveness of these measures will depend on their implementation and the commitment of all employees to uphold ethical standards. Continuous monitoring and adaptation of strategies will be crucial in maintaining trust and integrity within the organization.
