Whistleblower protections - what are enough?
Is your NFP doing enough to protect whistleblowers? The data suggests the answer may well be not enough.

Yet research has established that these protections are critical to good governance, well-functioning teams, and broader social responsibility. A 2014 study from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners found 40 percent of fraud cases were detected by tips from within an organisation.
