In a move to combat fraud and enhance ethical operations, QNET, a prominent e-commerce based direct selling company, has officially opened its dedicated Compliance Office in Ghana. The new office, unveiled at a ceremony in Accra, marks a pivotal step in the brand’s ongoing collaboration with Ghanaian regulatory and security agencies.
Theodosia Naana Quartey, QNET’s Head of Compliance articulated the company’s resolute commitment to transparency and accountability. “Today marks more than just the opening of a physical office; it signifies the establishment of a critical touchpoint in our relentless fight against fraud and misinformation,” Naana stated, addressing an audience that included representatives from Ghana’s security and regulatory agencies, and the media.
She highlighted the pervasive issue of criminal syndicates misusing QNET’s name to deceive and exploit innocent individuals. “For far too long, our name has been misused by criminal syndicates looking to deceive and exploit innocent people,” she acknowledged, recognizing the firsthand experience of law enforcement partners in combating such illicit activities. “And that, precisely, is why this office exists.”
The office, according to her will serve as the single point of contact for all regulatory and legal matters concerning QNET in Ghana. Naana Quartey emphasized a proactive engagement with all government bodies, including EOCO, the Police, and the Ghana Immigration Service. “Our lawyers and compliance officers are here to listen, to respond, and to ensure that QNET operates with full transparency and accountability,” she affirmed.
Beyond internal checks, the office is also mandated to monitor the activities of QNET’s independent distributors across the country. This oversight will ensure adherence to legal and ethical business conduct. Quartey assured decisive action in cases of breaches, ranging from disciplinary measures to handing over individuals for prosecution by law enforcement.
“Above all, this office will serve to protect,” Quartey declared. This protective role extends to safeguarding the public from fraudsters misusing QNET’s name, shielding partners from misinformation, and supporting investigations into scams. The office is also expected to work to pre-empt crime through intelligence sharing with security agencies. “In simple terms, this office won’t just respond to fraud; it will work to prevent it,” she concluded.
Quartey extended her gratitude to the leadership of EOCO and other security agencies for their invaluable support while calling upon the media to continue their crucial role as partners in public education, helping to disseminate accurate information and vital warnings about scams across Ghanaian communities.
In her closing remarks, Quartey revealed 0that the office’s opening is not an end but “the beginning of a stronger, more transparent, and more accountable QNET in Ghana.” She also hinted at future engagements with churches across the country, signifying a broader outreach effort. “My team and I stand ready to work, to collaborate, and above all, to protect,” she concluded, signaling a new era of enhanced compliance and public safety for QNET in Ghana.
