Abstract
This research investigates the consequence of whistleblowing activities on financial institutions with particular emphasis on the impacts of reporting wrongful acts on the degree of transparency, accountability, and the institution's performance as a whole. It analyzes the fraudulent activities and non-compliance with regulations which employees are willing to report owing to the unethical practices of their organizations. The study considers the primary and the secondary data to assess the levels of awareness within the employees of the institution on whistleblowing and the reporting challenges, as well as the consequences of such reports for the institution. The results suggest that the governance of institutions which have a well-functioning whistleblowing system in place suffer less financial risk and are more exposed to public confidence. The study suggests that institutions should safeguard confidentiality, protective of whistleblowers, promote a reporting culture as well as policy alignment with whistleblowing practices to gain optimum benefit from such whistleblowing activities.
