ASIC has published its long awaited consultation paper on the
requirements of whistleblower policies for public companies, large
proprietary companies and proprietary companies that are trustees
of registrable superannuation entities operating in Australia.
We've previously reported
here on what these entities need to do to comply with the
wide-ranging changes to Australian whistleblower laws that came
into force from 1 July this year.
ASIC's consultation paper and draft regulatory guide for
whistleblower policies can be found here. We'll shortly publish an update on
the content of the consultation paper, and our views on areas that
are relevant to businesses operating in Australia.
