When a theft occurs in the Organisation, a routine set of actions should occur.These actions are as follows:

1.The person discovering the theft goes immediately to the Ethics Officer andmakes a full verbal report of the article/articles stolen, when they were lastthere — who was responsible for their safety — and any further data that he has onit.

2.The Ethics Officer writes down all details of the theft and the articles stolen.

In the cases where large objects such as a machine, car, or the building has beenbroken into and something taken, he calls the Police immediately giving fulldetails of the theft.

3.The Ethics Officer then makes a Xerox copy of the details of the theft and takesit to the Insurance Officer, Dept of Records, Assets and Materiel, Org Division.

4.The Insurance Officer takes the Report and immediately notifies the InsuranceCompany with which the article was insured.

These actions should be done speedily as in some cases unless a theft is reportedimmediately to the Police and the Insurance Company, the Insurance is not collectable.

It is the responsibility of the Insurance Officer to see that all articles of value areinsured.
