A whistleblowing policy for accountancy and bookkeeping practices – how staff can raise concerns about AML breaches, fraud, ethics or wrongdoing in confidence, legal protection and how concerns are handled.
Accountancy practice – compliance & management
Whistleblowing (Speak Up) Policy for Accountancy Firms
About this document
A clear policy that lets partners, staff, trainees and contractors raise concerns about wrongdoing – including breaches of the firm’s anti-money laundering procedures – confidentially and without fear of detriment. Supervisors expect firms to give staff a route to report AML breaches that is independent of the people involved, and the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 protects workers who make qualifying disclosures.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
