Understanding Gratuities at KFTD

Gratuities—whether gifts, favors, or entertainment—have the potential to create conflicts of interest and impact the independence, fairness, and professionalism of KFTD personnel, including the Board of Directors, Board of Commissioners, and all employees. Whether these gratuities are given, received, or solicited, domestically or internationally, KFTD takes them seriously.

Gratuities represent a fine line between a genuine gift and an attempt to influence decisions. Therefore, KFTD remains vigilant regarding all forms of gratuities, recognizing them as potential risks for bribery practices.

Reporting KFTD Gratuities

To address the Legal Issues in KFTD, gratuities within KFTD must be reported within a maximum of 10 working days from the date of receipt. Reports can be submitted to the gratuities Control Unit in various formats, including hard copy, email (PDF/JPEG), or using the Gratuities Report Forms.

Following submission, the Gratuities Control Unit is responsible for analyzing and investigating each report to determine the ownership status of the gratuities—whether they belong to the individual, the company, or the state.

Gratuities Limits and Protections

• Interest or profits from personal funds placement, investments, and stock ownership.
• Benefits from employee organizations.
• The equipment provided to participants during official activities.
• Other generally accepted matters that are not related to official duties and do not violate the code of ethics of the relevant officials.
