This<strong>Code</strong> is a cornerstone <strong>of</strong> our prevention efforts.Monitoring & DetectionLAIO has a monitoring and detection process to identify breaches <strong>of</strong> this <strong>Code</strong>, todetermine the causes <strong>of</strong> such breaches and to implement timely and appropriatecorrective action. This process includes a culture that encourages the reporting <strong>of</strong>suspected breaches <strong>of</strong> this <strong>Code</strong>. LAIO provides various channels to permit suchreporting, implements periodic risk assessments and compliance reviews, and has aquarterly reporting process.ResponseIf a suspected breach <strong>of</strong> this <strong>Code</strong> is reported, it will be investigated promptly and, ifsubstantiated, timely and appropriate action will be taken to address the particularissue and to prevent recurrences.Decision Making FrameworkThis <strong>Code</strong> provides a decision making framework by establishing the principles andvalues that guide actions and decisions.
