The United States has adopted a culture that promotes whistle blowing in most industries. Research indicates that organizations without proper mechanisms for reporting unethical behavior report twice as high fraud related losses compared to those that do not.

This shows that the whistle blowers are important and therefore should be protected by the law. However, while the whistleblower protection laws are written to Continue reading...
