EY/Ethics Hotline

The EY/Ethics Hotline is a method for reporting conduct that may be unethical, illegal, in violation of professional standards, or otherwise inconsistent with the EY Global Code of Conduct. The hotline may be used for whistleblowing and whistleblowers as per Law no. 6(I)/2022, on protection of whistleblowers – in which case you may choose to either direct the report to the EY Ethics team for action which may include regional, area and global members (“EY/Ethics Tier”) or to restrict access to your report to the local Cyprus member firm ethics team only (“Restricted Tier”).

Before contacting EY/Ethics, we encourage you to consider whether or not you can directly raise your concern with someone at EY.

If you do not feel comfortable doing so, or do not know whom to contact, you can make a report to EY using the EY/Ethics Hotline (online or by telephone), which also includes information about how EY will respond to your report.

Your web-based report will be routed initially to EthicsPoint, an independent third-party host for the EY/Ethics Hotline. It will then be promptly forwarded by EthicsPoint to the appropriate Quality & Risk Management personnel or internal legal counsel at EY for review and investigation. Calls to EY/Ethics Hotline may be answered by EthicsPoint or by EY hotline personnel, depending on the country of contact. EY/Ethics Privacy Notice is available here.

Breaches or suspected breaches in the abovementioned areas can also be reported, without fear of retaliation or delay, by sending an email to Ethicscompliance.cyprus@cy.ey.com.

An external report for breaches of the EU legislation falling within the framework of the Whistleblowing Legislation, may be submitted directly to the Independent Authority Against Corruption of the Republic of Cyprus (“IAAC”):
