“…Research with a quantitative approach on the relationship between whistle-blowing and career opportunity is rarely conducted. Previously, research on whistle-blowing was performed with a qualitative approach ( Bakirci, 2019 ; Nwoke, 2019 ; Ugowe and Adebayo, 2018 ). The findings contribute to the management literature and enrich the depth of the existing literature through empirical confirmation with the context of developing countries.…”

“…In this regard, Section 306 of the Investments and Securities Act 2007 contain provisions that protect potential informants in the capital market or public corporations, but this legislation neither dealt with whistle-blowers specifically nor set out provisions that make specific reference to whistle-blowing. In fact, the disclosure provision appears in the "Miscellaneous Provisions" section of the Act (Nwoke, 2019). In this context, this paper recommends that judicious lawmakers should initiate a law that will regulate whistleblowing, not only in the public sector but also within the private sector.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the prevalence of corruption not as it concerns corruption generally but specifically in relation to corporations in Nigerian. It examines the corporate sector and how a good legal regime can be used to prevent frauds and promote a more efficient corporate governance structure in the country. Design/methodology/approach This paper adopts the doctrinal approach through a critical evaluation of concepts. Using existing literature in the subject area, it evaluates the prevalence of corruption in Nigeria’s corporate sector and the relationship between a sound legal system (through application of the rule of law) and the establishment of a good corporate governance regime. Findings This paper finds that there have been numerous corrupt practices involving corporations in Nigeria. Notwithstanding the prevalence of corporate corruption in this sector, there has been no serious interrogation of these anomalies, leading to stultification in the growth and development of this sector of the Nigerian economy. Originality/value Against the background that very little has been devoted to examining the causes of corporate corruption in developing economies (for instance, Nigeria) and what can be done to reduce its occurrence, this paper offers a fresh insight into the causes of corruption and the correlation between good corporate governance anchored on law and the development of a corporate sector. It extends the body of knowledge in this area by offering suggestions that can help reduce the occurrence of corruption in the Nigeria’s corporate sector.

The current development of the justice system in Indonesia is not only oriented towards perpetrators, but also oriented towards the interests of Witnesses and Victims. The existence of Witnesses and Victims is very decisive in disclosing the existence of a crime in the court process. A whistleblower is a person who can provide information related to a crime even though he has not heard it himself, he has not seen it himself, and he has not experienced it himself, as long as that person's information relates to the existence of a crime, so that they need to be given protection. The purpose of this research is as a legal effort that the whistleblowers, both from within and from outside the institution, receive legal attention and protection. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, with a normative juridical approach. In order to obtain valid data, interviews and FGDs were conducted with representatives of the Witness and Victim Protection Agency (LPSK), the Financial Transaction Analysis Reporting Center (PPATK), and academics. The result is that the Law on the Protection of Witnesses and Victims for whistleblowers is very important, considering that as a party that can be referred to as the entrance to the opening of a violation/crime, especially in the financial sector, because this field is very vulnerable and risky in disclosing cases. Therefore, the legality for whistleblowers will be obtained more clearly, definitely and legally comprehensively, in order to create a better law enforcement in Indonesia.
