African Infrastructure Investment Managers Proprietary Limited (“AIIM”) is committed to offering great value to our clients.

One way in which we add value is to protect our risk pool by identifying and managing fraud effectively. Fraud in the financial services industry is a significant area of focus to us.

While we have very stringent controls and checks in our processes, fraud may still arise. AIIM has various fraud mitigation tools in place. We do, however, require the assistance of our clients in this process. One of the tools which can be used by our clients, the broader Old Mutual, as well as the public, is our anonymous tip-off line. Using this tip-off line, you can alert us to any suspicious activity from our staff, suppliers, contractors, co-investors or clients. Tip-offs can be made telephonically, via email or via our website.

  • Fictitious vendors
  • False statements / misrepresentations and claims by contractors, suppliers or co-investors
