Consultants Change Associates were appointed to carry out the review in October — after newsreader Edwards was convicted of making indecent images of children.
Its remit included abuses of power and investigating “whether there is more we can do to ensure people feel confident to speak up”.
After the BBC meeting, corporation chiefs will make the findings public.
BBC Director General Mr Davie has previously said he wanted to enforce a “zero tolerance” approach to wrongdoing at the corporation.
