Articles on Whistleblowing
In this section you will find Thorsoft's guides on whistleblowing: what it means, who the whistleblower is, what obligations the EU Whistleblowing Directive and its Italian implementation, Legislative Decree 24/2023, introduce, and the role of ANAC, Italy's anti-corruption authority. We also tell the history of whistleblowing, from the first reports in the United States to the European Directive, and explain who must set up an internal channel: in Italy, companies with at least 50 workers, those with a 231 model and public bodies. For those choosing a tool, there are practical articles on how to assess whistleblowing software, what it costs and what the internal procedure must contain, from feedback timeframes to protections for the whistleblower. You will also find insights on the role of the channel manager and on the relationship between whistleblowing and the 231 organisational model. The content is designed for companies, public bodies and organisations that want to handle reports securely and compliantly, in plain language and with references to the legislation.
