There may be times when an employee witnesses or suspects wrongdoing or malpractice in the workplace. They may want to raise a concern. This is commonly termed whistleblowing.
Whistle Blowers (Pty) Ltd has a 14 year track record of facilitating whistleblowers and protecting them.
It is well known that employees are a valuable source of information for discovering potential fraud and the graph below shows that employees were the source of almost half of all tips that led to the detection of fraud.
A substantial amount of tips came from anonymous parties (14.6%). The fact that more than half of all tips involved parties other than confirmed employees, emphasises the importance of cultivating tips from various sources.
