Regulatory guidance places clear expectations on boards in relation to the governance and oversight of whistleblower arrangements. Yet a policy alone does not provide assurance that whistleblower programs are effective in practice. And recent public scrutiny has reinforced how quickly the handling of a whistleblower matter can become a governance issue.

This webinar will discuss the evolving whistleblower landscape and explore:

  • what effective board oversight looks like; 
  • how boards can gain assurance that whistleblower arrangements are trusted, effective and working in practice; 
  • how to respond when concerns are escalated directly to the board; 
  • governance risks arising from disclosures involving senior leaders, including conflicts, independence and procedural fairness; 
  • indicators of employee confidence in reporting channels and gaps between policy and practice; and 
  • maintaining clear boundaries between board oversight and management responsibility. 

This session will update you on evolving expectations and provide you with practical strategies to support and harness the benefits of an effective whistleblower program.
