A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

Praise for Whistleblowers: Incentives, Disincentives, and Protection Strategies

"This unique book weaves the fascinating stories of individual whistleblowers with a call to make major improvements in the corporate compliance systems of all organizations. It is a must–read for executives and board members concerned about preventing future corporate scandals." Howard L. Carver, public company audit committee member and retired partner, Ernst & Young LLP

"Federal and state governments have found that incentivizing integrity works, and they are embracing whistleblower¿¿programs to ferret out fraud. The good news, says Fred Lipman, is that corporate boards can implement their own whistleblower initiatives in order to get ahead of the curve. The trick, says Lipman, is for corporate boards to understand that they cannot obtain the information necessary to perform their fiduciary duties without creating incentives for internal whistleblowers." Susan Strawn, President, Taxpayers Against Fraud

"As a national employee hotline provider, I fully endorse the idea contained in this excellent book of providing rewards for legitimate employee whistleblowers whose information benefits their organization. I believe that Fred Lipman′s recommendation will increase both the usage and effectiveness of employee hotlines." Andy Bronstein, President, Lighthouse Services, Inc.

"As with his prior writings, Mr. Lipman has created a thoughtful and comprehensive guide. Following the passing of the Dodd–Frank corporate governance reform bill, the whistleblower issue has taken on significant prominence. This is why this book′s subject has such relevance." Professor Charles M. Elson, Woolard Chair in Corporate Governance and Director of the Weinberg Center for Corporate Governance, University of Delaware
