For example, the New York Times reported that HP consultants even considered planting clerical or custodial…

Is Government Support for External Whistle-Blowing Effective?
A number of laws have been enacted to encourage members of organizations to report misconduct. While most firms support internal reporting of misconduct through anonymous hotlines, many organizations are concerned about employees going public or reporting misconduct to the government.
