Protection of Company Assets Fraud, Waste or Misuse We are all obligated to protect the Company’s assets and ensure their careful and legitimate use. Our assets include resources such as office supplies, equipment, communications systems and vehicles, as well as proprietary information, intellectual property, financial resources and Information. Theft, wasteful use of resources, and fraudulent activities are detrimental to our Company objectives and are prohibited. Examples of fraudulent activities include, but are not limited to: • Embezzlement • Dishonesty • Kickbacks • Forgery or alteration of negotiable instruments, such as checks and drafts • Misappropriation of assets • Theft of cash, securities, supplies or any Company asset • Unauthorized handling of Company transactions • Falsification of Company records or financial statements for personal or other reasons Bob is a superstar employee. However, there are times when he is overcommitted on deliverables. So that he does not disappoint his customers or damage his standing, Bob sometimes follows the internal process steps that he considers important and skips those that he believes add no value. He always gets the job done. Is that okay? No. Cutting corners is not in keeping with our core value of Service Quality. Halliburton’s internal processes and controls have been carefully developed to help ensure that Halliburton business is carried out in accordance with our policies and procedures, applicable laws and sound business practices. Good internal processes promote efficient operations, employee safety, accurate financial reporting, safeguarding of assets, and responsible financial management. Employees cannot selectively determine which processes to follow and which to ignore. As a general rule, you should use the Company’s physical assets, such as phones, computers or facilities, for business purposes only. On those occasions where you must use Halliburton’s assets for personal use, use common sense and remember to always consider the best interests of the Company. If you reasonably suspect that fraud, waste or misuse has occurred, you should report it to the Law Department, Audit Services, Security Department, or the Company’s Chief Financial Officer for investigation. 26
Pradipa is preparing a proposal for a Company acquisition. The Microsoft Word document contains confidential and highly sensitive information about prospective acquisition targets. Pradipa needs to collaborate on this document via email with Vicky in another Halliburton department. Pradipa has worked with Vicky several times on other projects and knows her well. Should Pradipa trust Vicky to maintain the confidentiality of the information in the acquisition proposal? As the “owner” of the document, Pradipa is responsible for accurately classifying the document as “Confidential” and taking steps to reduce the risk of intentional or accidental disclosure of this confidential document to unauthorized parties. Specifically, Pradipa should place a “Do Not Forward” restriction on the email that she uses to transmit the document to Vicky, greatly reducing the risk that the information will be shared electronically with unauthorized persons.
