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

Share this article

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.

FAQs

What background check do I need?

This depends on the industry and type of role you are recruiting for. To determine whether you need reference checks, identity checks, bankruptcy checks, civil background checks, credit checks for employment or any of the other background checks we offer, chat to our team of dedicated account managers.

Why should employers check the background of potential employees?

Many industries have compliance-related employment check requirements. And even if your industry doesn’t, remember that your staff have access to assets and data that must be protected. When you employ a new staff member you need to be certain that they have the best interests of your business at heart. Carrying out comprehensive background checking helps mitigate risk and ensures a safer hiring decision.

How long do background checks take?

Again, this depends on the type of checks you need. Simple identity checks can be carried out in as little as a few hours but a worldwide criminal background check for instance might take several weeks. A simple pre-employment check package takes around a week. Our account managers are specialists and can provide detailed information into which checks you need and how long they will take.

Can you do a background check online?

All Veremark checks are carried out online and digitally. This eliminates the need to collect, store and manage paper documents and information making the process faster, more efficient and ensures complete safety of candidate data and documents.

What are the benefits of a background check?

In a competitive marketplace, making the right hiring decisions is key to the success of your company. Employment background checks enables you to understand more about your candidates before making crucial decisions which can have either beneficial or catastrophic effects on your business.

What does a background check show?

Background checks not only provide useful insights into a candidate’s work history, skills and education, but they can also offer richer detail into someone’s personality and character traits. This gives you a huge advantage when considering who to hire. Background checking also ensures that candidates are legally allowed to carry out certain roles, failed criminal and credit checks could prevent them from working with vulnerable people or in a financial function.
