The software Whistleblowing di Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting Italia plays a fundamental role for compliance and the promotion of ethical and transparent work.
Its implementation offers numerous advantages and facilitates several aspects of this process.
Since last December, companies with more than 50 employees, those that have adopted a “231” organizational model or those that provide financial services, regardless of the number of employees, must equip themselves with a platform for managing “whistleblowing”.
Whistleblowing in companies is a crucial issue in modern corporate governance. The practice allows you to report illicit or unethical behavior within an organization, protecting the integrity of the company and its stakeholders.
Regulation 231
Introduced in 2001, it represents a fundamental aspect of Italian corporate and criminal law. This law introduces the administrative liability of companies for certain crimes committed by their representatives and employees in the interest or benefit of the company. With the introduction of «whistleblowing», companies are incentivized to develop internal mechanisms to allow employees to report illegal conduct without fear of retaliation. This helps companies detect and prevent violations that could lead to them incurring liability under Regulation 231.
In summary, “whistleblowing” acts as a tool for companies to ensure compliance with European and Italian regulations including that contained in 231, allowing the timely identification and management of illicit conduct which could otherwise lead to administrative liability for the company . This mechanism strengthens the culture of legality and transparency in organizations.

The software platform can be easily integrated with company websites and intranets and the anonymous chat system is integrated to facilitate communication between the reporter and the recipient. Through a data storage system adhering to the GDPR, the Whistleblowing solution allows you to share encrypted data while remaining confidential. The system is scalable and modular for every size and type of company and is simple and intuitive, allowing the reporter to easily enter his report and the report manager to analyze and manage each case in a short time. The signaling system is activated quickly and easily.
The Legislative Decree provides for the right to share the internal reporting channel and its management, allowing the outsourcing of the service to an external party (e.g. professional firm or employment consultant).
The Wolters Kluwer software manages this possibility, through an intuitive dashboard that allows the external manager to view the reports received from the various companies.
