Whistleblowing complaints are on the rise in Asia Pacific and new regulations are adding to these challenges. How does your company measure up in the steps it has implemented to address this?
Join us on October 6, 2022 in Sydney at the official launch of our new report — Asia Pacific Whistleblowing Landscape: Benchmarking and Best Practices. We will share the results of our recent survey of companies across Asia Pacific in relation to their experiences of whistleblowing complaints and what measures they have adopted. Results of the survey include:
- 41% experienced an increase in reports in the last year
- 42% considered they had received vexatious reports
- 87% had taken disciplinary action in relation to victimisation of whistleblowers
What You Can Expect:
Gain insights on the latest trends as you refine and strengthen whistleblowing policies. Legislators, human resource professionals, general counsels and compliance professionals alike will find integrated solutions to respond to both internal and external pressure points. Key themes include:
- Where and why companies across the region are seeing more whistleblower complaints
- New whistleblowing regulations adding to the challenges for companies
- Addressing how whistleblowing is critical for a strong ESG program
- Benchmarking best practices across Asia Pacific including the investigation of whistleblower complaints
- Challenges of financial incentives for whistleblowers, anonymous reports and vexatious reports
- Market spotlights on Australia (including the extent to which measures in ASIC’s guidance have been adopted), Mainland China and Japan
We encourage those in Sydney to join us in-person and take the opportunity to discuss these challenges with Baker McKenzie partners and with others in your industry. The event will also be available by Zoom.
Please register using one of the buttons on the right. Registration is essential for in-person attendance, as numbers are strictly limited. If you are joining us virtually, you will receive a Zoom link which is unique to you and should not be shared with others.
We look forward to seeing you!
