This book was released on 2016-05 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whistleblowers are necessary to introduce change into a company when wrongdoings are identified. They are the first employees within a company, who witness and show wrongdoings that arise in the everyday dealings of a company. However, they are often ignored by their colleagues, supervisors and the company. Within this research the issues that arise from neglecting the information provided by whistleblowers and ignoring the wrongdoing is illustrated using the case of “de Nederlandse Zorgautoriteit”, henceforth NZA. It will be shown, which the key variables related to whistleblowing are, from the perspective of a potential whistleblower as well as from a company’s perspective. Finally, it is concluded what went wrong in the NZA case and recommendations are provided.
Download or read book Whistleblowing in the World written by Carmen R. Apaza and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-27 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deploys an original comparative framework, as well as archival and pattern-matching research methodologies, to analyze whistleblowing cases from Peru, South Korea, Thailand and the United States of America and to ascertain factors that make for effective whistleblowing. After examining the cases, the study concludes that external whistleblowing, extensive mass media coverage, and strong evidence are essential components of effective whistleblowing. When there is a lack of proper legal protection, whistleblowers experience brutal retaliation, even though their actions are successful in stopping wrongdoing and promoting change in the public sector.

Download or read book The Ethics of Whistleblowing written by Eric R. Boot and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-02 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the enormous political, legal, and media interest that has surrounded high profile cases of whistleblowing, such as Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden, the fundamental ethical questions surrounding whistleblowing have often been obscured. In this fascinating book Eric Boot examines the ethical issues at stake in whistleblowing. Can the disclosure of classified government documents ever be justified? If so, how? Why does it require justification in the first place? Can there ever be a duty to blow the whistle? When is breaking the law justified? On a more practical level, this book also considers the various whistleblower protection documents and finds them often lacking in consistency and clarity, before providing an argument for a plausible "public interest" defense for whistleblowers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how whistleblowers have saved lives, stopped frauds, protected their jobs, and earned million-dollar rewards for doing the right thing in Rules for Whistleblowers, Stephen Martin Kohn’s seventh book on whistleblowing. This book is a fully updated and expanded revision of The Whistleblower’s Handbook, the first-ever comprehensive consumer guide to exposing workplace wrongdoing. Kohn’s thirty-seven rules highlight the “traps” facing whistleblowers today and address how to file anonymous cases and qualify for multi-million-dollar rewards. Kohn carefully explains complex rules and laws governing whistleblowing including the Dodd-Frank, IRS, and False Claims Acts, as well as detailed strategies for fighting retaliation. He also covers controversial issues such as taping, removing documents, and ignoring nondisclosure agreements. Modernized laws have revolutionized the rights of employees both in the United States and internationally, enabling whistleblowers to be paid over $10 billion in rewards for doing the right thing. No employee should blow the whistle without knowing their rights. Too much is at stake.

Download or read book Whistleblowing written by Daniel P. Westman and published by BNA Books (Bureau of National Affairs). This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 instituted new civil and criminal protections for whistleblowers and, according to Westman (Shaw Pittman Morrison & Foerster LLP) and Modesitt (Washington College of Law, American U.), is a significant departure from the prior pattern of whistleblower laws in its expansion of the subject matter of protected disclosures and its emphasis on the "undersight" usefulness of whistleblowing, prompting this new edition of Whistleblowing. They therefore discuss the statutes, regulations, national stock exchange rules, and case law arising from the act separately from their examination of the historical evolution of whistleblower laws. The latter material, while updated, is presented with unchanged organization, covering key issues for advocates and advisors, the legal and regulatory structure, and strategies for litigation and avoiding litigation.

Download or read book Silencing a Whistleblower written by Cobus de Swardt and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how insufficient policies can lead to the alleged abuse of power in organisations. When independent ethical structures and processes are missing or weak, practices of abuse, misconduct and cover-ups can easily arise at the leadership level. Even organisations that specialise in good governance are no exception, as illustrated by this case study on arguably the world's most influential anti-corruption NGO, Transparency International (TI). Written by the former Managing Director of Transparency International, this book chronicles its ethical breakdown over a 5-year period starting in 2015. By comparing TI's whistleblower policies with its internal whistleblower practices, it demonstrates how the organisation gradually became trapped in a vicious cycle of secrecy, corruption and lies. The author chronologically tracks TI's practices, drawing on 12 whistleblower complaints filed with TI since 2017, as well as communications with TI, international donor agencies, and other international civil society organisations from 2015 to 2020 to do so. The chronological format aptly reveals the snowball effect that ethical weaknesses can create over time, as well as the emotional warfare that whistleblowers are typically subjected to. The unfolding chronology also shows what it means to be a whistleblower for an organisation that avoids public transparency, reporting on and scrutiny of its own practices. "Former Managing Director Cobus de Swardt has written a compelling story of abuse of authority and unethical conduct at the apex of the very organization expected to safeguard accountability in governments and corporations around the world. As Silencing a Whistleblower reveals, Cobus de Swardt's disclosures were and are a milestone in the accountability world because of the institutional hypocrisy he exposed." Beatrice Edwards, former Executive Director of the Government Accountability Project (GAP) "Cobus de Swardt's must-read account of his travails in Transparency International (TI) as he tried tirelessly to blow the whistle on leadership abuses is a tragic, yet vitally important warning. Even those organizations avowedly dedicated to openness, accountability and integrity, must be constantly vigilant to ensure that they do not fail their most able and dedicated employees." Frank Vogl, Co-Founder and former Vice Chair, Transparency International.

Download or read book Legal Tech and the New Sharing Economy written by Marcelo Corrales Compagnucci and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-12-13 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exponential growth of disruptive technology is changing our world. The development of cloud computing, big data, the internet of things, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, and other related autonomous systems, such as self-driving vehicles, have triggered the emergence of new products and services. These significant technological breakthroughs have opened the door to new economic models such as the sharing and platform-based economy. As a result, companies are becoming increasingly data- and algorithm-driven, coming to be more like “decentralized platforms”. New transaction or payment methods such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, based on trust-building systems using Blockchain, smart contracts, and other distributed ledger technology, also constitute an essential part of this new economic model. The sharing economy and digital platforms also include the everyday exchange of goods allowing individuals to commodify their surplus resources. Information and innovation technologies are used in order to then match these resources with existing demand in the market. Online platforms such as Airbnb, Uber, and Amazon reduce information asymmetry, increase the value of unused resources, and create new opportunities for collaboration and innovation. Moreover, the sharing economy is playing a major role in the transition from exclusive ownership of personal assets toward access-based exploitation of resources. The success of online matching platforms depends not only on the reduction of search costs but also on the trustworthiness of platform operators. From a legal perspective, the uncertainties triggered by the emergence of a new digital reality are particularly urgent. How should these tendencies be reflected in legal systems in each jurisdiction? This book collects a series of contributions by leading scholars in the newly emerging fields of sharing economy and Legal Tech. The aim of the book is to enrich legal debates on the social, economic, and political meaning of these cutting-edge technologies. The chapters presented in this edition attempt to answer some of these lingering questions from the perspective of diverse legal backgrounds.
