Whistleblowing – Compliance, process and stakeholder management

All across Asia, whistleblowing complaints are on the rise. In times of economic uncertainty such as the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, corporations and particularly financial institutions often see further increases in the number of claims stemming from whistleblowing complaints. In this session, our panel of speakers discuss all things whistleblowing, and provide practical tips based on experience on how to prepare for and defend such claims.

The speakers begin by providing an overview of the whistleblower protection in place across a number of Asian jurisdictions. They then share and discuss several whistleblowing case studies, including sexual harassment, bullying and other inappropriate conduct of business scenarios. Topics covered include:

• Approaching the investigation – should the investigation be conducted inhouse or using external counsel?

• Internal and external stakeholders – who they are and how should you manage them?

• Tips on dealing with the related employment issues
