Session information
Whistleblowing and investigation in financial institutions
Friday 17 May (0930 - 1045)
Description
Regulatory and public scrutiny of financial institutions shows no signs of lessening. Regulators and the public increasingly look to ‘whistleblowers’ to expose wrong-doing and unethical behaviour within regulated firms and the resulting internal and external investigations can be complex, time consuming and resource intensive. The panel will examine these trends from a cross-jurisdictional perspective and will provide practical guidance for lawyers called upon to advise institutions dealing with these issues.
