Transparency statement

Our first core value is: "We believe in open, ethical, and non-discriminatory business practices."

At A&A Computers we want our business partners, prospective business partners and employees to know that we conduct our business in an ethical, transparent and upstanding manner, and reject any business opportunities that involve bribery or other fraudulent actions.

We consider compliance with anti-bribery laws to be more than a legal requirement. Compliance is also a reflection of how our company values are embedded - the basis for the behaviour by which A&A Computers wants to be judged by society. Our employees are required to observe and adhere strictly to Tanzanian anti-bribery laws and regulations.

Our code of conduct puts compliance and our legal obligations ahead of our business results. A&A Computers Ltd. will discipline any employee who violates any anti-bribery laws.

Following are indicators of fraud, or of attempts to commit fraud, in procurements

1. Baseless complaints or accusations by an employee addressed at A&A Computers Ltd. The employee is unhappy not having received any kick-back, and wants to ensure that another, less ethical, supplier will be selected for future orders, or to direct business to a member of a family or close associate.
2. Employees claiming not having received a hand-written and stamped receipt for the full amount from A&A Computers. Part of the total amount may have been diverted by the employee.
3. Being given a Purchase Order for A&A Computers, but purchasing the goods elsewhere. The other supplier may issue a kick-back and supply sub-standard equipment.
4. Purchase orders are tailored to meet the qualification of one particular supplier or product.
