UK Trade Sanctions Agency Begins Accepting Whistleblower Reports

The U.K.’s Office of Trade Sanctions Implementation officially began accepting formal whistleblower disclosures June 26, the agency said in an email to industry. The U.K. also put in place changes to "help whistleblowers qualify for protections at work when disclosing information about financial, transport, and certain trade sanctions to the relevant department," OTSI said. The agency updated its whistleblower guidance to outline how to make a report and how the government will treat reports.
