Whistleblowing & Incident Management Benchmark Report

An efficient and trusted mechanism by which employees can anonymously or confidentially make inquiries and allegations of suspected or actual misconduct without fear of retaliation is the hallmark of a well-designed compliance program.

Ongoing analysis and benchmarking of reporting data helps organizations answer crucial questions about their risk and compliance program including:

• Do employees and third parties know about our reporting channels?
• Are our communications reaching the intended audience and having the desired effect?
• Does our culture support employees who raise concerns?
• Are our investigations thorough and effective?
• Do we need more training on risk areas, reporting processes or fear of retaliation?
• Do we need to review or update our policies?

Tracking internal data to help answer these questions is important. Getting a broader perspective on how your performance matches up to market and industry norms is invaluable.

This annual report is an important resource for organizations committed to benchmarking and improving program effectiveness.
