Protected Disclosures Act Amendment Webinar

Putting into practice the new landscape

We will discuss the Protected Disclosures (Amendment) Bill 2022, which came into effect on 1 January 2023.

This new legislation applies to private and public entities with 250 or more employees and entities of any size that fall under EU law relating to financial services, products and markets, prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing, transport safety, and protection of the environment. From 17 December 2023, it will apply to all entities with 50 or more employees.

Our expert speakers will explain:

• How to set up an effective Whistleblowing system, and how to make it an integral part of your organisation’s culture of transparency and integrity.
• The key steps that you need to consider in order to set up an effective internal alert system that complies with the law.
• How to establish channels and procedures, ensuring confidentiality, for internal reporting of suspected wrongdoings, and how to follow up on the same.

By attending our webinar, you learn how to avoid crises and limit reputational damage.
