Whistleblower

This form is reserved for persons wishing to provide the AMF with confidential information about breaches of financial regulations.

A whistleblower is a natural person who discloses or reports, without direct financial consideration and in good faith, non-public information, revealing a crime or misdemeanour, a serious and manifest violation of an international commitment duly ratified or approved by France, a unilateral act of an international organization taken on the basis of such a commitment, European Union law, the law or the regulations. When the information was not obtained in the context of the professional activities mentioned in I of article 8, the whistleblower must have had personal knowledge of it (article 6 of Law n°2016-1691, amended by Law n°2022-401).

Pursuant to article 9 of the Sapin 2 Act, the AMF’s procedure for collecting and processing whistleblower reports guarantees strict confidentiality of the identity of the persons who submitted the report and the persons concerned, and of the information collected by all recipients of the report.

The AMF has no jurisdiction to receive whistleblower reports on banking and insurance matters (ACPR has jurisdiction) or tax matters (DGFIP has jurisdiction).
