Project description

Whistleblowing and internal auditing are frequently used fraud detection methods. Despite their importance, in-depth research about incentives for both is lacking. In this project, we will conduct three experimental studies focusing on (1) employee whistleblowing, (2) the role of internal auditors, and (3) reporting non-financial misconduct. As such, we will contribute to the accounting literature with important implications for practice.
