In Episode 12 you heard about the whistleblower allegations I received after working for the company for only 45 days.  What started as a fun and exciting opportunity of a lifetime was turning out to be a much more difficult internal audit experience.  In this episode, I’ll discuss the investigation of the whistleblower allegations and reporting to the audit committee.

This is the second in a series of four podcasts detailing the events I faced at a previous employer. If you happen to be listening to this podcast first, you should probably go to Episode 12 and listen to them in order.
