I was referring to application of that particular law. I know for instance within E.U. efforts are made to protect whistleblowers. An example of this is the experience of Mr. Van Buitenen who's testimony on fraud ultimately forced the whole EU commission to resign. Due to the culture of denial he was not able to work as an employee within EU anymore. So he started his own political party. His experience has been covered in many books and journals.
I am actually aiming at the following. When does an org need to have such policies in place? Who is controlling and enforcing the use of these policies? Or do they need to be tested in a dragging judicial process?
Anyone of us who is working within Risk Management, whether part of IT or finacial should be familar with this act and its implication. So maybe,we have someone among us who could point to specific items in that act and its application and maybe legal ramifications.
Rebel8, blowing the whistle and not being disfellowshipped is exactly what I was thinking about. Although someone might later on be forced to go due to "positive peer pressure".
But it would be a start.
