Agenda

What do capital management companies have in common with large companies since 2023? They must provide whistleblower systems.

While the obligation to establish an internal reporting point applies to most other industries only when there are 50 or more employees, for capital management companies, the obligation applies from the first employee. The strict regulations for reporting channels remain, which can be particularly challenging for companies with only few employees.

In this webinar, Lena Olschewski, delves into the specific requirements for internal whistleblower systems under the German Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG) and highlights what can be derived from this for capital management companies.

“Whistleblower Protection Act” Arguments:
The obligation to establish internal reporting points is justified by the Whistleblower Protection Act (HinSchG), which aligns with the EU Directive on the Protection of Persons Reporting on Breaches from 2019. Article 8, paragraph 4 of the EU Directive justifies the removal of thresholds by referring to various Union legal acts, stating that these companies are already obliged to establish reporting points through, among other things, anti-money laundering requirements. The EU Directive and accompanying national laws would therefore not imply a new obligation but rather define the minimum standards for the reporting channels to be established.
