The registration for this event is closed
16 March at 10:00-11:00
The subject of the whistleblower and his protection is not new, it did not appear with the adoption of the Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of persons reporting breaches of EU law.
We will talk about the most important challenges and risks related to the implementation of the directive with practitioners who have been dealing with the broadly understood business security of an organization for years. We will tell you which issues in practice raise the most problems in connection with the implementation of whistleblowing systems and how to approach them practically and effectively.
We will also explain how to deal with the uncertainty related to the risk of Polish legislation, we will tame the risks of "mythology", "guardian" and "conflict of interest".
