Whistleblower and Ethics Report Handling Agent

Make sure every ethics report is triaged, assigned without conflict and followed to an approved outcome.

Whistleblower and Ethics Report Handling Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Hotline reports need quick triage and careful tracking. Delays or lost follow-up create legal risk and damage trust. The agent logs each report, classifies it by type and severity, and checks possible conflicts for the intended investigator. It sets deadlines based on policy and tracks progress, escalating overdue or serious cases. If the investigator has a conflict, it suggests another. When a case moves, it updates the status and re-checks the deadline. The committee approves the investigator and the outcome. Edge case: a report names the head of procurement, so the investigator must not report to that person.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

It classifies by type and severity using the policy. Serious cases, such as fraud or safety, go to the committee at once. An investigator is eligible only if there is no conflict with anyone named.

  • Fraud, safety and harassment reports are high severity
  • An investigator who reports to or works with a named person is excluded
  • A case 5 days past a deadline is escalated
  • Reports are logged within 1 business day

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Deadline per case type
  • Escalation days (default 5)

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

An example run

What happensA report alleged invoice splitting by procurement. The agent classified it as high severity and found that the first investigator reported to the procurement head, so the conflict check failed. It proposed an internal audit lead instead and passed the check. The committee approved. At day 21 the case was 5 days late, and the agent escalated with the reason.
