The new regime&nbsp;carries both criminal and civil penalties, and requires firms to implement detailed procedures to protect whistleblowers&#8217;&nbsp;identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>The law requires all large companies and trustees of superannuation schemes to have a whistleblower policy in place.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The Whistleblower Protection Regime contained in Part 9.4AAA of the Corporations Act was expanded on July 1, 2019 to provide greater protection for whistleblowers who report misconduct&nbsp;on the part of companies&nbsp;or their officers and employees. The law requires all large companies and trustees of superannuation schemes to have a whistleblower policy in place. In November 2019, ASIC released Regulatory Guide 270: Whistleblower Policies (RG270), setting out obligations for companies and trustees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Whistleblower information sheets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The newly released information sheets \u2014 INFO 246 and INFO 247 \u2014 summarise the obligations of company officers and auditors, and of internal or external teams investigating whistleblower complaints.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The information sheets assist company officers and auditors to deal with the requirements under the law as it relates to their important roles in a company. The information sheets provide guidance for companies to develop arrangements for handling whistleblower disclosures that are effective and tailored to their circumstances&#8221;, said Warren Day, ASIC executive director for assessment and intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The information sheets&nbsp;make it clear that companies must obtain consent from whistleblowers to disclose their identity if required for investigations.&nbsp;They also explain how to address any employment issues involving&nbsp;the whistleblower while the company is&nbsp;handling their disclosure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firms&nbsp;must conduct training&nbsp;on the whistleblower provisions and ensure investigating teams understand the legal obligations not to disclose a whistleblower&#8217;s identity, or any information likely to lead to their identification, unless that disclosure is authorised under the law. Additionally,&nbsp;firms or&nbsp;their employees must not cause or threaten to cause detriment to a whistleblower for making a disclosure, and whistleblowers must not be victimised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Qualifying disclosures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The information sheets set out the circumstances&nbsp;under which a whistleblower can make &#8220;qualifying disclosures&#8221; to access the rights and protection under the new regime.&nbsp;A qualifying disclosure is a disclosure of information from a whistleblower &#8220;who has reasonable grounds to suspect that the information concerns misconduct, an improper state of affairs or circumstances, a breach of the law or danger to the public or the financial system&#8221;. The definition of misconduct is wide-ranging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The whistleblower must have reasonable grounds to suspect the concerns that they report. This is an objective test. A person is not protected for a false claim. It must be an allegation they have reasonable grounds to suspect is the case,&#8221; ASIC said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Personal work grievance distinguished from qualifying disclosure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A disclosure about a &#8220;personal work-related grievance&#8221; is not covered by the whistleblower provisions. Examples of personal work-related grievances include: an interpersonal conflict between the individual and another employee; a decision about the engagement, transfer or promotion of the individual; a decision about the terms and conditions of engagement of the individual; or&nbsp;a decision&nbsp;to terminate or suspend the engagement of the individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A&nbsp;disclosure of a personal work-related grievance may, however, fall under the whistleblower provisions if a person suffers, or is threatened with, detriment for making the disclosure or if the disclosure includes information about misconduct, an improper state of affairs&nbsp;or circumstances, or if the disclosure suggests misconduct that has significant implications for the company beyond the discloser&#8217;s personal circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Maintaining confidentiality<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Company directors and auditors and their staff must have systems in place to maintain a whistleblower&#8217;s confidentiality. This includes managing correspondence with the whistleblower, and the insertion of information about any disclosure into computer systems.&nbsp;The ASIC information sheets remind company officers that the Corporations&nbsp;Act makes it a criminal and a civil penalty offence for someone to disclose unauthorised information likely to reveal the identity of a whistleblower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firms need to have effective arrangements for handling disclosures from whistleblowers. They&nbsp;need to take responsibility&nbsp;for overseeing the whistleblower handling program and reviewing its effectiveness, to ensure they are managing risks in this area appropriately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has published two new information sheets to help firms understand their obligations under a new Corporations Act regime to protect whistleblowers. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":107,"featured_media":755,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[697,660,701],"tags":[836,838,839,837],"insight_job_role":[775,708,714,804,715,793],"insight_practice_area":[],"class_list":["entry","author-corpadmin","has-excerpt","post-753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-compliance","category-governance-risk-compliance","category-regulatory-intelligence","tag-asic","tag-identity","tag-protection-regime","tag-whistleblowers","insight_job_role-audit-manager","insight_job_role-business-manager","insight_job_role-chief-operations-officer","insight_job_role-chief-risk-officer","insight_job_role-compliance-risk-manager","insight_job_role-compliance-officer","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
