My Boss Is Terribly Corrupt. Should I Blow The Whistle? by Noblejay7: 6:27am On Feb 12, 2017
A friend shared this with me and I decided to bring it here in other to get advice.

He works with a company as an admin officer and part of his job description is processing of expenses for daily purchases and payment to vendors and suppliers.

My friend is in a fix right now and he needs advice. The problem started when his former boss boss was sacked due to downsizing. His new boss is a terribly corrupt person.

Inspire of the fact that his boss earns good salary which ordinary should be enough for him, he still manipulates figures and orders my friend to raise fictitious expenses which he converts to private use.

My friend also notice that his boss connives with vendors to inflate price in return for kickbacks.

Recently my friend processed and got approval for purchase of tyres for their operational vehicles in the office only for his boss to collect the money without buying the tyres.


The internal auditor who is suppose to check mate this excesses has been quiet .

My friend is thinking of using the company's wishle blowing mechanism but this might affect his boss as he could be sacked.

Kindly advice.

He doesn't need to seek NL advice bfor doing the needful.

except if your friend is actually waiting for his own turn to be on that sit, and start manipulating figures, just lik his current boss is doing.

One day, that company will seize to exist, and the blame will be put on bad management, not knowing people like his boss siting at one corner embezzling the company's actually cause it.

case study is NIGERIA.

corrupt individuals need to be weed out

He should just stay put and gather evidence over a period of time. Concrete one at that, mouth talk is not enough.

Meanwhile

After 5 months of being 6th on the table they finally moved to five. Not up to 30min Dr Manè sent them back...

Well he can actually 'blow the whistle' only and if only it wont be traced back to him. From my experience, these corrupt people normally have friends in high places. If nothing is done to his boss after he reports and then the said boss catches wind of the situation...ur friend is a goner, and in dis our nigeria of few jobs....is he willing to take such a step at the possible cost of his job?

Easiest way to get sacked in most institutions is to report a corrupt boss..

While Whistle blowing is good, it depends on the environment of the company, you must apply wisdom and ask yourself the following questions: is the whistle blowing mechanism secure? Would you be a prime suspected Whistle blower after the exposure? NB this May put you at risk. You also have to determine the closeness of your boss to his superiors - those Who will take decisions so you dont put yourself in trouble. Above all you must be ready to quit your job if the table is turned against you.

I will tell you specifically and even in caps - DON'T DO IT IF YOU STILL LOVE YOUR JOB. Your boss may be serving the interest of someone high up the ladder. A boss who has the effrontery to direct subordinates to change figures may have cover up. Do it and lose your job or be frustrated out of the system.
