With the enforcement of the revised Whistleblower Protection Act on June 6 of this year, each business is probably in the process of completing the design of its whistleblower system and review of its internal rules and regulations in line with the guidelines and commentary published by the Consumer Affairs Agency, and is about to begin informing its officers and employees of the new law. The two lecturers were also the attorneys who prepared the "Example of Internal Rules on Whistleblowing," which was used as a reference material at a seminar co-hosted by the Consumer Affairs Agency and Nippon Keidanren on January 1, this year (the example is available on the website of the Consumer Affairs Agency). This time, based on the example of the regulations, we will explain the points of reviewing the internal regulations, as well as the ideal whistleblowing system in relation to group companies and business partners, and the ideal way of disseminating and training officers and employees.
