THE POWER TO EFFECTIVELY LEAD
50% of all U.S. companies are victim to fraud at any given time with the average company
losing 6% of its annual revenue to fraud. The bitter pill to swallow is that the majority
of perpetrators are internal with many being from the ranks of senior management. And most
companies are also beset by other misconduct, lying, falsification of records, harassment,
substance abuse and discrimination.
75% of all employees see unethical acts in the workplace yet will not report them. Why?
Because they are afraid to. But when employees and the stakeholders can remain anonymous,
73%
will report incidents.
According to the latest reports from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners, employee
tips are (by far!) the most effective method to unearth fraud and other disturbing events,
far more effective than internal audits, external audits, and internal controls. Ethical
Advocate provides you, your Board of Directors and your employees the right place to do the
right thing. System users can anonymously and confidentially report incidents via our website,
or our 24/7/365 call center (from where we can translate into 150 languages).
Our highly customizable and scalable system gives you the tools for finely tuned governance,
risk and compliance analytics, the power to quickly pinpoint unethical acts and easily
determine vulnerabilities.
Ethical Advocate has further distinguished itself by working with a team of psychologists and
communications specialists to understand the psychology and motivation of courage and to
consequently develop positive mechanisms encouraging people to do the right thing – even
when they feel threatened by doing so.
Over 1.2 million users across all sectors, including public and private companies trust
Ethical Advocate to be the right place to do the right thing. With over four decades of
national and international executive leadership, putting us to work for you will help you
ensure the only news heard about your company is how it is a shining example for how a
