The Safeguarded Boardroom: Whistleblowing and AI Governance in Corporate Disputes

​Corporate crises rarely begin in the courtroom. They begin when concerns go unheard, warning signs are missed and safeguards fail.

​Join us for a discussion connecting the lessons of Wirecard with today’s challenges in whistleblowing, AI governance and corporate dispute resolution. Wirecard whistleblower Pav Gill will share his first-hand experience, followed by a panel exploring how organisations can identify concerns earlier, strengthen accountability and respond effectively when disputes arise.

​The discussion will explore:

• ​Building trusted whistleblowing channels and effective internal investigations.

• ​Using AI in compliance and decision-making, with meaningful human oversight.

• ​Addressing the reliability of AI-assisted evidence and records.

• ​Understanding when mediation can help—and when investigation, regulatory action or formal proceedings are required.

​The session concludes with audience Q&A.
