| Summary: | These studies show that while whistle
blowing is an important component of the corporate
governance system of an organization, whistle blowers often
face persecution. In this article reviews legislation that
has been introduced to protect whistleblowers in a number of
countries. The article also discusses the importance of the
right corporate culture and attitudes towards whistle
blowing, which are arguably just as important as legislation
protecting whistle blowers. The article then discusses two
real-life case studies on whistle blowing and concludes with
key implementation issues which should be considered in
developing a whistle blowing policy. |
