Deloitte’s Whistleblowing Service
Introducing Deloitte Conduct Watch
For over 20 years and in response to constantly evolving whistleblower legislation, Deloitte has advised our global clients on how to minimise workplace misconduct through the use of Conduct Watch, our independent and trusted whistleblowing solution.
Manage your whistleblowing risk with Deloitte Conduct Watch
Whistleblowers have important information about misconduct in their organisation, such as fraud, corruption, or serious breach of policy. According to ACFE’s annual Report to the Nations, whistleblowers account for 40% of the discovery of internal misconduct, including fraud. Our team offers the Deloitte Conduct Watch service globally, both online and as a call centre service. Whistleblowers can lodge a disclosure 24/7, confidentially, from anywhere around the world. Deloitte Conduct Watch can be presented to potential whistleblowers within an organisation as either a Deloitte service or as the organisation’s own service, customised to its own circumstances and requirement.
Key Deloitte Conduct Watch features
Multiple channels
Whistleblowers can make secure disclosures via website, email, fax, post or phone. The simplest service offers whistleblowers access 24/7 from anywhere in the world via an encrypted online link to the whistleblowing platform. The link to the Deloitte service can be loaded on the company website, shared in internal communications, and integrated into training.
Diligent
Registered disclosures are reviewed by experts and converted into structured reports for investigation. High risk matters are prioritised. Easy-to-digest report summaries are loaded onto a dashboard to be reviewed by your nominated Disclosure Coordinator (HR leader, legal or risk executive).
Cost-effective
Deloitte Conduct Watch has a flat sign-on subscription fee with trigger points based on the number of reports received by the client. Various free support assets are offered to subscribers to the service, including a whistleblower implementation kit consisting of an onboarding guide, training video on using the tool, and updates on the risk profile of the client’s organisations based on its report patterns in comparison to industry trends.
Practical and low effort
Deloitte analysts condense what is often in-depth detail to provide you with actionable insights, giving you the facts, you need to prioritise, investigate and remedy reported problems efficiently. If you want to refer the case to outside legal counsel, law enforcement or regulatory bodies, the reported facts are clear.
