Whistleblowing regulations in the UAE: What’s changed, who’s affected, and what to do now

​Whistleblowing expectations in the UAE are tightening.
With new regulations from the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and a detailed review by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), companies now face clearer requirements around how internal misconduct is reported, handled, and protected.

​In this session, we will break down what’s changed—and what your organisation needs to do next.

​What we’ll cover:

• ​The latest requirements under ADGM’s Whistleblower Protection Regulations 2024

• ​Key findings from DFSA’s 2025 Whistleblowing Thematic Review and what it means for DIFC-regulated entities

• ​What both regulators expect around policies, reporting channels, retaliation protections, and governance

• ​Common implementation gaps and how to avoid them

• ​How to prepare for the May 2025 ADGM compliance deadline

• ​What a modern, regulation-aligned whistleblowing setup should look like in practice

​Whether you're operating in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, or both—this webinar will help you stay ahead of shifting expectations and build internal systems that meet compliance standards and build employee trust.
