On World Whistleblowers Day (23 June), we explore why speak-up matters more than ever.
Whistleblowing has evolved from a compliance requirement into a critical component of effective corporate governance and risk management. In this webinar, David Morgan explores how changing workplace dynamics, regulatory requirements, and increased public scrutiny are driving a rise in whistleblower activity—and why internal audit functions must respond. With over 40% of fraud detected through tip-offs—significantly more than traditional audit methods—whistleblowing mechanisms provide a powerful lens into organisational risk, misconduct, and cultural health.
Through practical case studies and real-world insights, this session will highlight the limitations of traditional, siloed reporting frameworks and demonstrate how integrated, technology-enabled speak-up programs can improve trust, enhance information quality, and enable earlier intervention. For internal auditors, the session will connect directly to core audit priorities—governance oversight, control effectiveness, culture assessment, legal changes, and fraud risk management—while showing how conduct data can strengthen assurance, identify systemic issues, and support boards in exercising effective oversight.
