GC360 Problem-Solving Virtual Roundtable
APAC: Investigation Readiness & Whistleblower Compliance
Free to Attend | Live GC360 Virtual Roundtable
About the Session
Increased regulatory scrutiny, expanding whistleblower protections, and rising internal misconduct reports are placing pressure on organizations across APAC to respond swiftly and compliantly to workplace investigations. Whistleblower systems must not only meet legal requirements but also foster a culture of trust and accountability.
This roundtable brings together legal, compliance, audit, and HR leaders to explore:
-
How leading APAC organizations are structuring their whistleblower programs
-
What policies, systems, and processes enable defensible internal investigations
-
How to build a speak-up culture that minimizes retaliation risk
-
What enforcement agencies expect during regulatory inquiries or dawn raids
All GC360 members will receive post-event access to the full session recording and practical toolkit via GC360Flix.
