WORKSHOP INTRODUCTION

Simply put, whistle blowing is the reporting of misconduct of an employee or superior. Misconduct of course, can range from between minor issues, to complex, corporate-changing deeds of bad behaviour / leadership. Prime examples of how important whistle blowing can be for an organization are the past scandals of Enron, WorldCom, and the Bernie Madoff scandal of 2008. Reflecting on the WorldCom accounting scandal and whistle blowing’s role in the matter, one Fortune magazine article stated, “If [Cynthia] Cooper had been a good soldier, the whole incredible mess might have been concealed forever.” In simple words, had Cynthia not spoken up, the inappropriate behaviour would have continued and, as a result, cause even more damage than the scandal did when it surfaced to the public. Certainly, a terrifying thought! – Quote from Astron Solutions – Website Article - http://www.astronsolutions.net/the-importance-of-whistle-blowing
