The Ethicscall.net has been established to contribute significantly in meeting the needs of entities “to stop bleeding within” due to frauds and corruption and at the same time create and protect enhanced value of the organization for the stakeholders. Although whistle blower mechanism is not mandatory for the companies in most third world countries unlike USA, many have found the merits of installing one if not for promoting ethical standards then for improving their bottom-line. Countries that have enacted laws similar to Sarbanse Oxley Act (SOX) have improved their corporate governance, particularly viewed in the context of business failures such as WorldCom, Enron, and Satyam.

The Ethicscall.net seeks to provide clients with alert-line services for reporting fraud, corruption, abuse of authority, compliance issues, work place harassment, misappropriation and such wrong doings - confidentially, anonymously and in a secure way. To effectively prevent reprisals or retaliation for reporting the wrong doings, ‘ethicscall’ maintains anonymity of the whistle blowers. It is operated at the arm’s length from the management of the client organizations and thereby keeps its independence, supported by its privacy policy.

The periodical reports made to the Board of Directors, Chairman, President or the Chair of the Audit Committee are prepared by the subject matter experts (domain experts) that clearly categorize the reported incidents in to critical, important or frivolous concerns. These reports are further supported by the evidence forwarded by the whistle blower or the clarifications provided to our in-take officers. Thus, the reports when received by the top Executive of the entity are immediately actionable.

EthicsCall.net also offers several other related services. These are:

• Mentoring service: This programme is essentially meant for select young executives who wish to follow conduct rules of their organizations but face difficult ethical dilemmas on what is right and what is not.
