AMP has announced the appointment of a group whistleblowing officer as part of a $100 million investment into its risk, governance and controls.
AMP Limited this week announced the appointment of Anne-Marie Paterson as its “group whistleblowing officer”.
Ms Paterson is a senior legal practitioner who has joined AMP from CBA where she was the executive manager and whistleblower investigation officer. At AMP she is responsible for leading whistleblower awareness, training and investigations across the business.
AMP chief risk officer Jenny Fagg said the appointment of Ms Paterson is the latest initiative to improve risk management and governance across AMP.
