Recent years have seen an increasing focus on whistleblowing as a cornerstone of good corporate culture. By helping to uncover wrongdoing or errors within an organisation, effective whistleblowing procedures are integral to good governance and risk management.

Being aware of issues also allows businesses to manage market-notification obligations and public relations, identify poor performance and potentially avoid costly employment litigation.
