BDO workshop on Whistleblower Protection

The recent amendments in the Protection of the Whistleblower Act (Cap 527) essentially mean that organisations registered in Malta and employing more than 50 workers are now obliged to set up a Whistleblower Protection governance framework with secure reporting channels which safeguard reporters’ confidentiality.

BDO Malta is geared up to assist organisations in setting up and implementing the required governance framework through its team of experts. We are putting up a thematic workshop which is intended to help organizations understand their requirements while discussing how these can adopt a professional setup and instill trust in the organisations’ commitment towards such obligations.

Topics that will be discussed include the following:

• Understanding the main requirements emanating from the Protection of Whistleblower Act;
• Setting up internal reporting whistleblowing channels within your organisation;
• The advantages of outsourcing your whistleblower reporting officer; and
• Ensuring a well-designed whistleblower protection training for your staff.
