Be Heard Now

A comprehensive and professionally managed outsourced hotline disclosure or reporting service is a critical component of any successful ethics, governance and risk management strategy.

The Companies Act, 2008 (Act 71 of 2008) reinforces the provisions of the Protected Disclosures Act, 2000 (Act 26 of 2000 as amended) and in fact makes it mandatory for public and state-owned companies to "establish and maintain a system to receive disclosures … confidentiality, and to act on them.”

Outsourced reporting services continue to be the most effective single intervention in the fight against workplace crime. The 2020 Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) Global Report to the Nations on Occupational Fraud and Abuse and most other similar surveys show that more than 40% of all frauds and abuse are uncovered via reporting services.

The vision of Be Heard® is to be a voice for those who need to be heard!

We have been in the business of managing anonymous outsourced reporting services since 2000 and we appreciate how important it is for organisations to have a mechanism in place where valuable information can be channelled on an on-going basis.

Be Heard® is much more than just a hotline and we have recently restructured our offerings by introducing a number of innovative and unique features and complimentary services which will ensure that you receive the best possible return on your monthly subscription.

Whereas even 10 years ago most risk management effort and resources were of a reactive nature (like investigations) the trend lately is to introduce proactive measures to identify service failures and unlawful and inappropriate behaviour in the workplace. From a return on investment perspective we are offering you a proven service for your organisation which could save you hundreds of thousands of Rand, provide you with early warning of inappropriate behaviour, reduce risk to your reputation and positively impact upon the culture of your organisation!
