What is whistleblowing?


Whistleblowing is the courageous act of revealing illegal, unethical, or improper activities within an organisation. A whistleblower, driven by a commitment to transparency, discloses information that exposes fraud, safety violations, discrimination, or other forms of misconduct.

Significance of an efficient whistleblowing system


The following key insights are drawn from the 2022 Report to the Nations, a biennial release by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE). This comprehensive research offers valuable insights into the costs, methods, perpetrators, and outcomes of occupational fraud schemes. It analyses over 2,000 real cases of fraud impacting organisations across 133 countries and 23 industries, providing a robust understanding of the landscape.

  • Organisations lose 5% of revenue annually to fraud, with twice as high losses in those lacking whistleblowing programs.
  • Whistleblower reports uncover 42% of identified cases, surpassing internal audits (16%) and management reviews (12%).
  • Corruption is the predominant scheme globally, with half of the identified cases exposed through whistleblowers.
  • Whistleblowing hotlines enhance detection, with 47% of cases reported via hotlines compared to 31% without.
  • Organisations without hotlines are 3.5x more likely to discover fraud through external audits and 2x more likely by accident.
  • Over half of whistleblower tips come from employees, while nearly one-third originate from external parties.
  • Organisations with hotlines experience 50% smaller losses, highlighting the efficacy of this reporting mechanism.
