[Webinar held on August 8] Encourage employees to report fraud-Consideration through corporate scandals where whistle-blowing did not work-

2022/7/26

[Nishimura & Asahi Law Office / FRONTEO Co-sponsored Online Seminar]

On June 4, 6, the revised Whistleblower Protection Act came into effect, imposing on businesses employing more than 1 workers on a regular basis the obligation to maintain a whistleblower response system. I believe that many businesses are reviewing their whistleblower systems and structures in conjunction with the enforcement of the Act. Whistleblowing is a very effective means of early detection and prevention of misconduct and problems. However, many companies that have been found to be involved in misconduct have not reported the misconduct or problems, despite the fact that they had an internal reporting system or structure in place. In this seminar, I will explain how businesses should encourage their employees to report wrongdoings and problems from ordinary times, based on the background and causes of the lack of whistle-blowing in actual corporate scandal cases.
