Global Compliance regularly communicates with our Clients on specific country whistleblowing scheme rulings, works with our Clients to ensure they understand the relevant legislation and regulations in other countries, advises them on how to remain in compliance while maintaining the integrity of their programs, and aids them in preparing the necessary information for any applicable certification processes.
When various EU country whistleblower scheme rulings have been released, Global Compliance has remained very proactive in communicating with our Clients on these matters and takes the following steps:
- Translation of guidelines into English
- Analysis of guidelines relative to whistleblower programs in the U.S. and abroad
- Solicitation of added interpretation and perspective from internal and outside legal counsel operating within the respective countries
- Issuing initial and follow-up communications to our Clients, along with translated documents, and any required program recommendations for compliance and best practices
- Providing Client assistance in any required certification with the guidelines
- Conference calls with Client legal departments to share findings
