Whistleblowing Policy
Whistleblowing Procedure
This page contains the Whistleblowing policy which applies to all alerts raised internally (by partners or team members) or by persons external to Forvis Mazars (clients and other stakeholders) about possible wrongdoings or malpractices within Forvis Mazars firms in Belgium.
This whistleblowing policy lists the procedural possibilities on which basis the existence of a potential wrongdoing or malpractice breach within Forvis Mazars Belgium may be reported, and aims to inform the persons to whom this policy applies of the protection a reporter of a certain breach receives.
This Whistleblowing Policy is in line with the Act of 28 November 2022 on the protection of reporters of breaches of EU or national law found within a legal entity in the private sector (hereafter the ‘Whistleblowing Act’). The aim of this law is to improve the implementation of EU law and policy in specific areas by laying down the minimum standards to ensure a high level of protection for reporters of breaches of EU law.
This Whistleblowing Policy is also in line with articles 10 and 36 of the Act of 18 September 2017 on the prevention of money laundering and financing of terrorism and on the restriction of the use of cash (hereafter the ‘AML Act’). The goal of this law is to prevent the use of the financial system for money laundering and terrorist financing, as well as the financing of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
