Whistleblower Disclosure Tracking
Tracking of protected disclosures received, their handling timeliness and outcomes under the Protected Disclosures Act.
Why protected-disclosure handling builds accountability
The Protected Disclosures Act shields employees who report wrongdoing in good faith, and an institution that fails to handle disclosures promptly and properly risks both occupational detriment claims and the loss of a key fraud-detection channel valued under King IV and PRECCA. Tracking disclosures, their timeliness and outcomes is essential to a credible ethics framework. AuditPro Core tracks protected disclosures, their handling timeliness and outcomes.

Confidentiality protects the discloser
Whistleblowers are protected from occupational detriment, and handling must preserve their confidentiality to retain that protection. A process that exposes the discloser deters future reporting.
Timeliness signals seriousness
Acknowledging and progressing disclosures within reasonable timeframes shows the institution takes them seriously. Stalled cases erode trust in the channel and may themselves constitute detriment.
Outcomes close the loop
Each disclosure should reach a recorded outcome, whether substantiated, unsubstantiated or referred. Tracking outcomes demonstrates that the channel produces action rather than absorbing complaints.
