Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A whistleblower is someone who exposes the misdeeds of others in an organization, typically relating to unethical or illegal activity. They are not necessarily the first to act unethically, nor do they unintentionally disregard ethics. They can be any employee, not just members of management, and they may report misdeeds to either internal or external parties. They are also not necessarily members of law enforcement, although law enforcement may become involved after a report has been made.
