Strengthening your complaint-handling process and optimizing your whistleblowing program are essential steps in complying with the FCPF and maintaining a high standard of consumer protection. During this panel, we will explore considerations for both aspects, including:
- Enhancing consumer protection and building trust among customers and stakeholders through a strong whistleblowing program
- Establishing an independent and impartial committee to handle whistleblower reports to help avoid conflicts of interest and ensure a fair assessment of the reported concerns
- Regularly communicating the existence and effectiveness of the whistleblowing program to employees, stakeholders, and the public
