A survey by the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors, whose members advise boards on the effectiveness of controls to manage risks, found that only 69 per cent said their organisation’s whistleblowing arrangements were effective.More than nine out of 10 had whistleblowing arrangements in place.

Nearly half of respondents said their organisation provided no feedback or progress updates to whistleblowers.
