Report Says Companies Leave Whistleblowers Waiting, Aren't Hearing About Retaliation
According to a report, companies taking longer every year to address whistleblower issues identified by employees.
In 2015, companies took a median of 46 calendar days to close ethics and compliance cases, up from 39 days in 2014, and 32 days in 2011. This trend is significant for organizations overseen by the SEC, as they have limited time to complete internal investigations under that agency's whistleblower provisions.
