ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ
All organisations with 50 employees or more and all organisations that are subject to anti-money laundering or terrorist financing legislation are now obliged to launch a whistle-blower or speak-up procedure.
But when a whistle-blower report comes in, do you know what to do? Moreover, what should you have done before the first report came in? The impartial persons who are appointed to follow up on the whistle-blower reports will experience pressure from both the reporter and from the management.
How should this be dealt with?
