How to report a fraud

Fraud can be perpetrated in many ways and may involve clients, consultants, influencers, professionals, brokers, partners, vendors, contractors, or any other person doing business with BDC or in any other relationship with BDC, including BDC employees.

External fraud

Please report any suspicious activity in writing to us immediately, for example: 

  • If you believe that a fraudulent request has been submitted to BDC. 
  • If you believe that you have been a victim of online fraud or identity theft in relation to BDC services. 
  • If you have received a suspicious email or phone call that appears to be associated with BDC. 
  • If you are a BDC client and you think that your personal or financial information has been stolen or obtained by fraudulent parties while doing business with BDC.

Internal fraud and misconduct

If you have questions or want to report an internal fraud or wrongdoing, violations of regulations, conflicts of interest, falsification of company records, or any unethical behaviour, BDC works with ClearView Connects, a system that is both secure and confidential, to submit and review internal fraud and misconduct disclosures.
