How Whistle-Blowing System is Effective in Preventing Bribery and Corruption in KFTD
As a state-owned pharmaceutical distributor in Indonesia, PT Kimia Farma Trading & Distribution (KFTD) has considered the whistle-blowing system (WBS) to be an effective method of preventing bribery and corruption in companies. Without someone to speak up about them, the growth of integrity and good corporate governance in the company is in jeopardy.
Then, how effective is WBS in preventing bribery and corruption in KFTD? The answer is in the procedures of this system.
The Whistle-Blowing System in KFTD and Its Procedures
First of all, there are three ways for employees in KFTD to report any acts of gratification by using the Whistle Blowing System:
- Via email: [email protected]
- Via Whatsapp: 081313138812
- Via official mail:

The form to submit via WBS can be downloaded on KFTD’s official website.
The WBS Procedure in KFTD
Then, how does the WBS work in KFTD? Here we go:
- When an employee witnesses a fraudulent act or gratification, he or she submits a report to the super admin. They can even report anonymously.
- The super admin checks the report based on the evidence given or discovered. Two (2) possibilities may come from this:
- If there is no evidence or the evidence is not good enough, there will be no further investigation, and the report will be closed.
- If there is enough evidence, then there will be a further investigation. Of course, the accused will be given a fair chance to defend themselves.
From The Investigation:
After the investigation regarding the suspected gratification or fraudulent acts, there are three (3) possible outcomes out of this:
- The defendant gets vindicated due to lack of or no evidence.
- The defendant receives a minor sanction for his or her disciplinary violation.
- The defendant receives a sanction determined according to the board of directors’ final decision.
From this procedure, the WBS in KFTD effectively prevents bribery and corruption in the company.
