Existing internal information regarding possible irregularities and abuses, as well as risks, is often not forwarded to the right contact or not forwarded at all because of a lack of whistleblower protection and a fear of reprisals by colleagues and superiors.
The patent-pending and certified Business Keeper Monitoring System (BKMS® System)guarantees that relevant information reaches the designated contact point directly: a win-win situation for whistleblowers and companies.
"First to Know" sets a benchmark for Good Corporate Governance to which investors are sensitized. With the prevention and internal clarification of cases, the organisation avoids material and immaterial damages and therefore establishes confidence - a value-building factor for investors und shareholders.
Whistleblowing systems allow the use of the critical potential of the employees as an important company resource and early warning system: when internal critique is allowed, external whistleblowing is less likely; this saveguards against consequential charges and claims of recourse.
The support for internal whistleblowing is a clear signal not only to employees that laws and guidelines are being adhered to, but also to investors and stockholders that innovative measures are being implemented in order to impede damages to property and reputation.
The high impact of whistleblowing in the prevention and fight against corruption is recognized by companies and public authorities. More and more proposals, conventions and rules take whistleblowing as a viable tool into consideration.
