Whistle-blowing is the act of telling the authorities or thepublic that the organization you are working for is doing

something immoral or illegal.There are two types of whistle blowers:

Given the prevalence of corporate misconduct in the recent past, whistle

blowing incidents have been on the rise.A 2002 article in Business Week called 2002 the "Year of the Whistleblower"and quoted Stephen Meagher, a former federal prosecutor who representswhistleblowers, as saying that "the business of whistle blowing is booming."This trend is likely to be bolstered by the provisions of the Sarbanes-OxleyAct, which for the first time, accords legal protections to whistleblowers inpublicly traded companies. This means organizations will have to instituterigorous policies to allow employees to bring unethical and illegal practicesto the forefront. Companies will have to train managers and executives onhow to encourage openness, not unlike the sexual harassment training of adecade ago. Putting processes in place will not be quick, but it is certainly

necessary given the increased public scrutiny of corporate behavior.
