From the Paper:

"Whistle blowing has become a major force to be reckoned with in the corporate world. According to Black's Law Dictionary, whistle blowing refers to an employee who reports, and may also refuse to engage in, illegal or wrongful activities of an employer or fellow employees. Whistle blowing is the exposure of fraud and abuse by an employee. Employees are speaking out about their ethical concerns in the workplace more and more. No matter what the ethical demands of a situation are the ability to become a whistleblower can easily cause serious consequences to either the company or employer involved not to mention the serious life long effects on the individual revealing the evidence. As a result of these consequences to the whistleblower the Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998 was created to protect the individual."
