The whistleblower hotline and complaints management team are ‘your eyes and ears’ to shed light on fraudulent activity within any organisation.
Some of the largest recent frauds such as Leighton Contractors and Queensland Health were uncovered by a whistleblower within the organisation. The latest ACFE Report to the Nations 2022 has shown that “42% of frauds were detected by tips from employees".
State and Federal legislation in Australia provides legal protections for Whistleblowers, and some organisations may have a system in place for anonymous reporting, however, many employees don’t feel safeguarded when sounding the alarm about wrongdoing or criminal activity.
An independent whistleblower solution resolves distrust in your internal complaints process. With fraud so difficult to detect, there is a reliance on employees coming forward to notify of wrongdoing. Having an external impartial & easily accessible system in place, is vital.

- Confidentiality, impartiality anonymous reporting
