“In modern economic conditions, special attention should be paid to the issue of building effective model of corporate governance, because the adherence of each employee to the accepted norms of business ethics leads to the creation of a positive corporate culture of the company, growth of its reputation in the market and high quality of services provided,” said Ombudsman of DBK Anvar Saidenov.
According to him, initially the institution of the ombudsman in DBK was created to strengthen the internal control system in order to ensure that employees and officials of the Bank comply with the requirements and provisions of the code. However, now this area is actively developing in the Bank. With external changes and new trends in the development of corporate culture, the Bank's internal regulations are supplemented and refined. So, great interest on the part of employees during the meeting with the Ombudsman was caused by changes related to the rules of conduct in social networks, the introduction of risk culture.
