Title: Is whistleblowing unethical? - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Description: Britannica defines a whistleblower as “an individual who, without authorization, reveals private or classified information about an organization, usually related to wrongdoing or misconduct. Whistleblowers generally state that such actions are motivated by a commitment to the public interest.” A 2022 Association of Certified Fraud Examiners report revealed that “internal auditors have uncovered 16% or fewer fraud schemes annually. More frauds are reported via whistleblowers than through frauds uncovered during an internal audit.” A 2021 All Voices survey found that 26.5% of employees say they have “never reported wrongdoing when they’ve seen it,” while 70% say they “would be more likely to report if there was a truly anonymous method.” The Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 was established to guard federal employees against “retaliation when reporting a wide variety of abuses, violations of law, waste and actions posing a threat to health or safety.” – PowerPoint PPT presentation
