Trust and governance
How we govern our work, stated plainly.

Responsible practice
Principles we apply in every engagement.
Agreed scope and responsibilities
Each engagement begins with an agreed scope, responsibilities, timescales and commercial arrangements, so that both sides know what will be delivered and by whom.
Information and system access
Financial records and operational data in the systems we develop or support remain the client’s information. Access is limited to what the work requires, and arrangements for protecting, retaining and returning information are agreed with each client.
Financial integrity
We do not offer or accept bribes or improper payments, we declare conflicts of interest, and we keep accurate records of the work we invoice.
Accurate representation
We describe our role, experience and relationships accurately. We do not present exploratory discussions as agreements, or claim partnerships, funding, certifications or results that have not been established.
Engagement-specific requirements
Where a client, partner or funder sets its own policies, safeguards or procurement requirements, we review and agree them before work begins.
Raising a concern
Anyone can raise a concern about our conduct in confidence by emailing info@hornbridgesystems.com with the subject “Confidential concern”.
