this is the criteria What is a reportable incident? A reportable incident is an unexpected event or occurrence who's impact may result in a significant and negative impact on Jumia's business operations, reportable financial statements, reputation and compliance. What's the purpose of this control? The purpose of this control is to make sure that these specific types of incidents are reported, classified, tracked and resolved in a timely manner, and that preventive measures are implemented to avoid incident recurrence. How to report an incident? The incident report should describe the incident as if it was being explained to someone not working at Jumia, providing details, explaining step by step the incident, the root cause and how it was solved, or what the mitigation plan is. The main information that it should include is: Timeline of the event and related mitigation actions, including, but not restricted to, start and end date, resolution date, status update dates, ETAs, and main actions' dates; Countries impacted; Department, ventures, branches, businesses, systems, stakeholders, and operations impacted; Detailed description of the incident occurrence; Mitigation actions, both reactive and preventive; Status updates; Owner(s) of the incident (it must be one person if possible and not a full team); Level of the incident (low; medium, high); Impact type(s) (Financial, Reputational, Operational, Compliance, HR) Impact description; Impact quantification (it depends on the type of the incident, but it can be in LCY/USD, in terms of volumes of packages/orders, number of customers, vendors, transactions, posts/views/shares, etc.) Examples of incidents (non exhaustive) Any allegation by a competent regulatory authority of contravention of an applicable law or regulation; An inability to meet, or continue to meet a significant license condition; Charging clients for services that aren't provided; Misrepresentation of a products benefits or features; A breakdown of a key SOX control, system or process; A recurring event, or combination of events, that considered together indicate a systemic internal control failure; A breach of contractual arrangements (including client agreements, outsourced service providers, mandates, guidelines); Representative misconduct such as breaches of their Best Interest Duty; Appropriation of funds; Occurrences or alleged occurrences with mediatic exposure on media or social media negatively impacting Jumia's reputation; Unusual fraudulent/abusive behaviors bringing potential risks or actual negative impact to Jumia's platform and financials; Occurrences bringing new potential or actual threats to Jumia's cyber defense procedures leading to data breaches or performance decrease on Jumia's systems response; IT Partners' service failures and IT products' delivery-related incidents leading to material impact on disclosure, financial reporting or customer experience; Non routine tax investigations led by tax authorities. Ownership The stakeholder in charge of the incidents' completeness for each central functional area / Opco should organize monthly touchpoints with the stakeholders in charge of reporting the incidents For Opco, Internal Controllers are the ones responsible to submit the incident report; For CI and SA, the CFO or the backup is expected to submit the report. @Abou Ouattara for CI and @Mehdi Soualem for SA For the main central functional areas, the responsible for the submission of the incident report is the functional leader; Local leaders are free to delegate to trusted members of their teams (confidentiality issue), but all departments should be represented. Submission process The owner must send an email to the list of recipients below explicitly stating that the Incident Report is complete as soon as it is completed, listing all the new incidents and all the incidents with updates (making reference to the row numbers of the trackers) related to the reporting period: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Country CEOs for Opco Types of incidents that are not part of this control This control should not include the following types of incidents, since those fall under the scope of other controls that Jumia has in place: Type Control Conflict of interest cases Conflict of Interest Policy Whistleblowing cases ELC-02 Harassment cases Harassment reporting process Outstanding litigations Outstanding litigations Tracker; FSC-21 Tax incidents involving UTP (uncertain tax positions) C-TAX-9
