DOC-2018-13 Procedures for Reporting Regulatory Violations to the AMF by Whistleblowers

The Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) issued Instruction 2018-13 to establish clear, secure, and effective procedures for whistleblowers to report regulatory violations. The framework mandates designated communication channels—including written, oral, and interview-based reporting—while strictly governing the recording, retention, and confidentiality of all disclosures. It further reinforces whistleblower protections by explicitly prohibiting retaliatory measures against informants and aligning national practices with EU Directive 2015/2392 and French Law No. 2022-401.
