ISO 37002 Whistleblowing Management System

Whistleblowing is the act of reporting suspected wrongdoing or risk of wrongdoing. A large number of wrongdoings are reported to organizations or other authority from employees within the organization. According to ACFE’s (Association of Certified Fraud Examiners) 2020 Report to the Nations, 43% of occupational frauds were detected by tips, half of those coming from employees.

This has encouraged many organizations to consider improving their whistleblowing policies, creating safe channels for whistleblowers, as well as protecting and supporting them. ISO 37002’s guidelines for a WMS aim to provide just that.
