Building a Fraud Prevention Program through training awareness and whistleblowing

Since December 16th, 2022, Romania's Law no. 361/2022 on whistleblower protection has been in force, extending its application to companies with over 50 employees starting December 17th. This is an important step in the process of transposing into national legislation the EU Whistleblower Directive (EU) 2019/1937 which aims to provide minimum standards of protection across the EU to whistleblowers who raise breaches of EU law with their employer.

In this context, we are pleased to invite you to our forward-looking whistleblowing webinar which will highlight the legal framework, compliance obligations and effective implementation, organizations’ responsibilities and obligations towards authorities, along with associated sanctions for lacking the necessary tools and procedures.

Join this interactive webinar to hear from a panel of subject matter experts to find out the steps that your organization should be taking now to comply with the Whistleblowing legislative requirements and the necessity of raising awareness within your organization through training and e-learning in to foster a secure and safe work environment.
