ServicesConsulting & AdvisoryWhistleblower Hotline

Tip hotlines have proven to be one of the most effective ways to detect or prevent fraud.

43% of detected fraud is uncovered due to a tip. Operating without a whistleblower hotline may be accepting unnecessary risk.

Whistleblower Hotline

Dean Dorton’s whistleblower hotline is a turnkey solution for businesses of all sizes.

We believe that organizations should make it easy for their employees to report suspected fraudulent activity/theft, misconduct, or unethical behavior, and to remain completely anonymous throughout the entire reporting process.

It provides your employees with a safe, secure, and anonymous way to report critical issues such as safety violations, threats, harassment, substance abuse, and discrimination, and to continue anonymous communication with the hotline.

Dean Dorton’s Whistleblower Hotline

Dean Dorton’s whistleblower hotline provides your employees with a safe, secure, and anonymous way to report critical issues.

Data from Association of Certified Fraud Examiners 2020 Report to the Nations

Median losses were nearly DOUBLED at organizations without hotlines

  • With hotlines: $100,000
  • Without hotlines: $198,000

Organizations with hotlines detect frauds MORE QUICKLY than those without hotlines

  • With hotlines: 12 months
  • Without hotlines: 18 months

Actual report transcripts received by our whistleblower hotline:

“Employees are stealing scrap metal and siding.”

Reported by a co-worker. The report came in anonymously for fear of repercussions, and helped the community prevent future losses.

“Ghost employee on payroll. Paying the same person twice.”

An employee was on the payroll twice and being paid double. The employee did not report themselves, but someone else did, saving the company thousands.

“Misuse of equipment. Company’s crane strap not being properly locked down, which caused a metal beam to whip back and forth.”

Potential for injury, employee litigation, and workers compensation claims were eliminated because an employee had the ability to anonymously report concerns.
