The deadline for companies across Europe to comply with the EU Whistleblowing Directive is fast approaching. With only a couple of months until the December 17 deadline, companies with 250 or more employees must set up internal reporting channels for the protection of whistleblowers, in order to adhere to the Whistleblowing Directive.

But what happens to the companies in Europe that have their headquarters based in the US?
How does the upcoming Directive impact these companies? What are some lessons that have been learned from real life investigations that companies should bear in mind?
