What happens following an investigation into a disclosure of wrongdoing?
The Commissioner will make a decision as to whether the alleged wrongdoing is founded based on the results of the investigation. The Commissioner’s decision will be communicated to the discloser, other persons involved, and to the organization’s chief executive. If wrongdoing is found to have occurred, the Commissioner can make recommendations to chief executives concerning corrective measures. Also, the Commissioner must report cases of founded wrongdoing to Parliament.
