Whistleblowing
What is Whistleblowing?
It refers to the voluntary disclosure by an individual, called a “reporter” or “whistleblower”, of wrongdoing or irregularities within a company, witnessed during their duties.
When did it originate?
In the United States, the first relevant law was the False Claims Act of 1863, designed to protect whistleblowers from unfair dismissal, harassment, and demotion, and to encourage reporting fraud by granting them a percentage of recovered funds.
What are the main cases reported by whistleblowers?
- Corruption
- Workplace discrimination and harassment
- Legal violations and criminal offenses
- Human rights violations
- Data misuse
When is it internal?
When a report is submitted by an employee through internal company reporting channels.
