Chapter 7 in Organizational Opportunity and Deviant Behavior, 2017, pp 123-134 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Whistleblowers attempt to disclose information about what they perceive as illegal, immoral, or illegitimate practices. Fraud investigators reconstruct the past after suspicions of misconduct and financial crime. Whistleblowers are an important source of information for many fraud investigators. In this chapter, characteristics of whistleblowers and their trustworthiness as information sources and the quality of pieces of information are discussed.
