I've been there and gone through the job losses, retaliation, sabotage against me and loss of pay and depression issues.
Many employees, especially accountants, are often placed in the crossfire between doing what is morally right, doing what is right for the comapny and doing what your boss wants you to do. Most people are honest and have morals. I would say that accountants, being professional, have high morals, but Enron showed that soe of them worship money more than morals.
As an accountant and consultant, no one has asked me for my dishonest opinion. However, no one has paid me $25 million for and audit fee and $25 million for consulting fees annually, for dishonestty, as in Enron.
It is apparent from the financial and emotional drains that whistleblowers are penalized with that whistleblower legislation, including monitary and punitive damages paid to whistleblowers is needed.
