As the prevalence of fraud in companies reflects the failure of corporate governance and internal control, whistleblowing could be regarded as an effective way to detect malfeasance, to prevent or mitigate damages arising from the violation. Generally, internal reporting mechanisms and protection provisions are both essential for a whistleblower policy, in order to gain the trust of potential whistleblowers and decrease the fear of retaliation. If the risks of whistleblowing outweigh the benefits, it will be difficult to stimulate the use of reporting systems and function as an early warning system without strong incentives, especially when the concerns have been ignored or impeded by employers.Given the continuing lack of effective and comprehensive whistleblower protection laws in Taiwan, it revealed the urgent need of legislation that whistleblowers should have access to legal remedies and immunity from liability. This paper focuses on the confidentiality of the whistleblower`s identity, anti-retaliation protection, anonymous whistleblowing, and the exemption from liability, while primarily analyzing elements of whistleblowing laws enacted in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, to minimize the risks of whistleblowing. In addition, the scope of protected disclosures, reporting procedures and the requirements should be examined from a perspective of striking the balance between the competing interests of whistleblowers and corporates. Providing financial incentives to whistleblowers who report cases of possible securities law violations, such as the bounty program established by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, might also be taken into consideration for the purpose of encouraging employees to speak up.Despite the fact that establishing internal reporting mechanisms has not been a legal obligation for most businesses under the current regime, such mechanisms enable staff to speak up about unethical or illegal conduct, fostering a corporate culture of trust and responsiveness; these are necessarily applicable to public companies. This paper intends to explore the issue based on the independent receivers, confidentiality, and the procedure for dealing with concerns. In conclusion, operational efficiency of such mechanisms would be improved owing to the critical factors of reporting systems learned from international experiences, and consequently enhance corporate governance through a supportive environment for whistleblowers.參考文獻 中文資料一、專書1.朱德芳，證券交易法下資訊不實案件董監事民事責任之免責抗辯事由，財經法新課題與新趨勢（二），2015年12月。2.劉連煜，現代公司法，新學林，2020年9月，15版。3.劉連煜、杜怡靜、林郁馨、陳肇鴻，選任獨立董事與公司治理，元照，2013年7月。二、期刊1.王文宇，法學、經濟學與組織(下)—兼論契約型與公司型共同基金組織，月旦法學雜誌，182期，2010年7月，頁9-10。2.王志誠，金融機構公司治理實務守則之特性及發展—以金融機構負責人之兼任職務為中心，財稅研究，48卷4期，2019年7月，頁90。3.余雪明，臺灣新公司法與獨立董事（上），萬國法律，123期，2002年7月，頁63。4.李智仁、陳一銘，建構金融機構內部人通報機制之芻議，存款保險資訊季刊，21卷3期，2008年9月，頁140-141。5.李聖傑，「新」揭弊者保護法之簡介—公私部門合併，月旦會計實務研究，16期，2019年4月，頁27。6.李曜崇，從比較法觀點探討我國律師擔當守門員角色之法律布局，法學新論，5期，2008年12月，頁123。7.林仁光，公司治理之理論與實踐—經營者支配或股東支配之衝突與調整，臺大法學論叢，33卷3期，2003年，頁209-211。8.林志潔，貪污犯罪檢舉人之保護與獎勵—以廣義的貪污共犯為核心，月旦法學雜誌，203期，2012年4月，頁147-149。9.林良榮，日本公益通報者保護法之立法政策與行政實務—兼論法院裁判案例與通報制度之改革，月旦法學雜誌，290期，2019年6月，頁162。10.林良榮，吹哨者之勞工保護與企業法遵義務—「一例一休」之權利保障與雇主勞動條件明示義務，月旦法學雜誌，273期，2018年1月，頁182。11.林良榮，勞基法第二八條積欠工資申請墊償之「雇主」與「勞工」概念—最高行政法院一○四年度判字第四七二號判決評釋，月旦裁判時報，42期，2015年12月，頁7-8。12.林郁馨，從美國證券集體訴訟談證券詐欺訴訟的填補損害及嚇阻功能，月旦財經法雜誌，14期，2008年9月，頁183。13.林鈺雄，誹謗罪之實體要件與訴訟證明－兼評大法官釋字第五○九號解釋，國立臺灣大學法學論叢，32卷2期，頁97。14.法務部廉政署，2019年聯合國反貪腐公約專題學術研討會實錄論文集，2019年10月，頁81-82。15.邵慶平，金融管制與私人執行—國際金融危機後管制發展的反省，國立中正大學法學集刊，40期，2013年7月，頁104-106。16.邵慶平，財報不實民事責任法制中公司作為責任主體之反思，月旦法學雜誌，290期，2019年7月，頁128。17.姜世明，釋明程序中之證據方法提出—評最高法院九十八年度台抗字第九二八號民事裁定，月旦法學雜誌，182期，2010年7月，頁275-277。18.袁義昕，美國律師作為資本市場守門員之研究，法學叢刊，210期，2008年4月，頁165。19.馬秀如、朱家德，「揭弊者保護」草案之評析，月旦會計實務研究，16期，2019年4月，頁51。20.張心悌，台灣財報不實吹哨者免責抗辯之判決分析，月旦會計實務研究，10期，2018年，頁56。21.莊永丞，公司治理下會計師、律師之吹哨者角色—以美國聯邦法制為中心，月旦會計實務研究，16期，2019年4月，頁44。22.郭大維，沉默未必是金—吹哨者法制之建構與企業不法行為之防範，台灣法學雜誌，216期，2013年1月，頁51。23.郭大維，從公司治理之角度論我國獨立董事及審計委員會之法制化，輔仁法學，31期，2006年6月，頁284。24.陳文智，會計師之吹哨義務與責任—兼論英、美兩國相關規範，法學新論，6期，2009年1月，頁13。25.陳瑞仁，吹哨者保護法法制（二），月旦刑事法評論，8期，2018年3月，頁126。26.惲純良，商譽損失作為背信罪之財產損害？—評臺灣高等法院102年度金上重更（一）字第8號判決，月旦刑事法評論，11期，2018年12月，頁136。27.黃銘傑，吹哨者保護之國際潮流與規範理念，月旦會計實務研究，16期，2019年4月，頁19。28.黃銘傑，從吹哨者及其保護機制的建置看法遵強化與風險控管趨勢，會計研究月刊，391期，2018年6月，頁83。29.黃銘傑，管窺力霸風暴中所暴露之公司治理與金融監理問題，月旦財經法雜誌，8期，2007年3月，頁19。30.楊戊龍、李淑如，行政院民國108年版揭弊者保護法草案評析，文官制度季刊，11卷3期，2019年7月，頁35。31.詹德恩，金融機構執行檢舉人保護制度之困境，月旦會計實務研究，11期，2018年11月，頁107-108。32.蔡昌憲，省思公司治理下之內部監督機制—以獨立資訊管道的強化為核心，政大法學評論，141期，2015年6月，頁261。33.蔡昌憲，從內控制度及風險管理之國際規範趨勢論我國的公司治理法制：兼論董事監督義務之法律移植，臺大法學論叢，41卷4期，2012年12月，頁1845-1849。34.蔡昌憲，從公司法第一條修正談公司治理之內外部機制—兼論企業社會責任的推動模式，成大法學，36期，2018年12月，頁117-118。三、研究報告與學位論文1.林志潔、林良榮、張天一、薛景文、陳俊元，法務部廉政署102年度「私部門公益通報者保護法立法研究」委託案期末報告，2014年。2.武永生、馮震宇、曾宛如、范姜真媺，律師於先進國家資本市場扮演之角色及與其他專家權責之劃分，行政院金融監督管理委員會委外研究計畫，2006年2月。3.陳一銘，內部人通報機制之建構與公司治理—以勞工通報為中心，國立臺北大學法律系碩士論文，2007年。4.陳恩儀、楊峻昌，證券事件「吹哨者」及其民事責任研究，證券投資人及期貨交易人保護中心委託專案研究，2018年10月。5.黃銘傑，組織內部不法資訊揭露法制之研究，行政院研究發展考核委員會委託研究報告，2005年8月。四、網路資料1.中央通訊社網站，網址：https://www.cna.com.tw/news/asoc/202010300264.aspx。2.司法改革進度追蹤資訊平台，網址：https://judicialreform.gov.tw/Resolutions/Form/?fn=62&sn=2-2&oid=13#progress_check_j。3.法務部廉政署，揭弊者保護法草案（109年第2版），網址：https://www.aac.moj.gov.tw/6398/6540/837481/Lpsimplelist。4.金管會銀行局網站，網址：https://www.banking.gov.tw/ch/home.jsp?id=60&parentpath=0,4&mcustomize=FscSearch_BankType.jsp&type=F。5.財團法人中華民國會計研究發展基金會審計準則公報第72號「查核財務報表對法令遵循之考量」，網址： http://dss.ardf.org.tw/ardf/au72.pdf。6.章忠信，美國新訂營業秘密保護法案強化民事救濟手段，著作權筆記，網址：http://www.copyrightnote.org/ArticleContent.aspx?ID=8&aid=2774。7.勞動部108年11月19日勞動關2字第 1080128698號函，勞動契約認定指導原則，網址：https://www.mol.gov.tw/announcement/2099/42678/。8.新光產物保險股份有限公司檢舉作業要點，網址：https://www.skinsurance.com.tw/SKI/Doc.aspx?uID=12&sID=1322&ST。9.資誠聯合會計師事務所，2018年臺灣經濟犯罪與舞弊調查，網址：https://www.pwc.tw/zh/publications/topic-report/assets/2018-taiwan-economic-crime-and-fraud-survey.pdf。10.臺灣產物保險股份有限公司檢舉不法案件處理制度，網址：https://www.tfmi.com.tw/investor_CG.aspx。11.臺灣證券交易所，英國證券市場相關制度，網址：https://www.twse.com.tw/staticFiles/product/publication/0003000194.pdf。12.總統府司法改革國是會議第五分組第三次會議，檢討反貪腐法制，網址：https://www.moj.gov.tw/dl-25935-51c431bcdfc14a4dbe1cca025d8da110.html。13.證券交易所「上市上櫃公司治理實務守則」問答集，網址：https://cgc.twse.com.tw/static/20170315/000000005ab785eb015acfdf7c8e000e_2017%E4%B8%8A%E5%B8%82%E4%B8%8A%E6%AB%83%E5%85%AC%E5%8F%B8%E6%B2%BB%E7%90%86%E5%AF%A6%E5%8B%99%E5%AE%88%E5%89%87QA-FINAL.pdf。英文資料一、書籍Janet Austin, To Reward or Not to Reward: A Cross-Jurisdictional Comparison of the Reasons Why Securities Regulators Have Adopted or Rejected Policies to Pay Whistleblowers, in Corporate Whistleblowing Regulation 65 (Lombard S., Brand V., Austin J. eds., 2020).二、期刊論文1.Janet Austin, Sulette Lombard, The Impact of Whistleblowing Awards Programs on Corporate Governance, 36 Windsor Y.B.

Generally, internal reporting mechanisms and protection provisions are both essential for a whistleblower policy, in order to gain the trust of potential whistleblowers and decrease the fear of retaliation. If the risks of whistleblowing outweigh the benefits, it will be difficult to stimulate the use of reporting systems and function as an early warning system without strong incentives, especially when the concerns have been ignored or impeded by employers.Given the continuing lack of effective and comprehensive whistleblower protection laws in Taiwan, it revealed the urgent need of legislation that whistleblowers should have access to legal remedies and immunity from liability. This paper focuses on the confidentiality of the whistleblower`s identity, anti-retaliation protection, anonymous whistleblowing, and the exemption from liability, while primarily analyzing elements of whistleblowing laws enacted in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, to minimize the risks of whistleblowing. In addition, the scope of protected disclosures, reporting procedures and the requirements should be examined from a perspective of striking the balance between the competing interests of whistleblowers and corporates. Providing financial incentives to whistleblowers who report cases of possible securities law violations, such as the bounty program established by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, might also be taken into consideration for the purpose of encouraging employees to speak up.Despite the fact that establishing internal reporting mechanisms has not been a legal obligation for most businesses under the current regime, such mechanisms enable staff to speak up about unethical or illegal conduct, fostering a corporate culture of trust and responsiveness; these are necessarily applicable to public companies. This paper intends to explore the issue based on the independent receivers, confidentiality, and the procedure for dealing with concerns. In conclusion, operational efficiency of such mechanisms would be improved owing to the critical factors of reporting systems learned from international experiences, and consequently enhance corporate governance through a supportive environment for whistleblowers. en_US dc.description.tableofcontents 第一章 緒論 1第一節 研究動機與目的 1第二節 研究範圍與方法 4第一項 研究範圍 4第二項 研究方法 5第三節 研究架構 6第二章 吹哨制度概述 8第一節 吹哨者之定義與保障範圍 8第二節
