Whistleblowing: Speak Up Culture & the Board

We've attached a Director's Brief from the Institute of Directors who have kindly agreed we can pass on to our members on the subject of "Whistleblowing, Speak Up Culture and the Board".

What is your role in your organisation in relation to these kinds of initiatives that seek to enhance trust and accountability?

Misconduct and unethical behaviour happen all too often in the workplace. The IIA's Advocacy Committee (James Rees-Thomas, Bernie McKendrey, Shashi Kumar, Russell Third, James Jong and Jeff Galt) and Steve Downes contributed to this brief and provided specific input to the "Role on Internal Audit" section. Have a read of this document and do a stocktake of how your organisation measures up. And think about what you need to do if you don't!
