The financial sector is already familiar with whistleblowing. However, the Whistleblowing Directive is a game changer, both because of its very broad scope (which includes financial services, products and markets) and the requirements it imposes.

The objective of the course is for you to:

• leave with a detailed overview of the provisions of the Directive (and its transposition into Belgian law);
• understand the impacts of the Directive (and its transposition into Belgian law) on your institution;
• leave with a very concrete and step-by-step road to compliance.
